Here are six diverse ways to incorporate Tamarind Syrup into your drink lineup, each recipe a testament to the versatility and rich flavor profile of this intriguing ingredient.

¾ oz Liquid Alchemist Tamarindo Syrup
½ oz Liquid Alchemist Ginger Sryup
1 oz Lemon
Shake with ice and dump on the rocks. Garnish with lemon.
2. Pica Pica: An adventurous non-alcoholic take that pairs Tamarind Syrup with a smoky tequila alternative, lime, and pineapple juices, enhanced by the heat of jalapeño and garnished with a tangy rim.
2 oz Optimist Smokey Tequila Alternative
1 oz Liquid Alchemist Tamarindo
½ oz Lime Juice
½ oz Pineapple Juice
1 Jalapeño diced and de-seeded
