Oh, YUM. That sounds like a margarita with a razor's edge!
I'd substitute something for the Tamarind. Because this weirdo who loves anchovies, raw octopus, Thai, Korean and Mexican food with heat set on 11 can't stand tamarind.
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
Could you substitute Rose's? like in a gimlet?

AND ME!!!
Signed, could be bribed into chores with tamarind balls as a child.
What does tamarind taste like? I'm imagining almond for no reason I can think of.

Ack! Ack! Did meara post this story here, too? Its like Penlind...only worse. Much worse.
Fascinating, in a train wreck kind of way, but also horrifying.
Tamarind is nothing like almond. It is a very sharp taste, kinda sour-savory. In all fairness I've never had straight tamarind, but growing up in California I had tamarind candy and tamarind ice cream. Hated them. Takes a lot to get me to hate ice cream. Also did not care for tamarind juice. Since I like candy, juice and ice cream, I tend to assume that it is the common factor I disliked.

All I got from the tamarind balls Lee gave me was a puckery citrus flavor. No savory, although that sounds intriguing and appealing. Maybe my sour tastebuds outnumber my savory tastebuds.
