Description
These are perfect – not so frozen so they’ll give you head freeze, and perfectly balanced.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- Slice of lime
- Ice cubes – enough to 3/4 fill the glass
- 2 shots of tamarind cordial (50 ml)
- 1 shot of silver tequila (25 ml)
- 1 shot of triple sec (25ml)
- 1 shot of lime juice (25ml)
Instructions
- Place the salt and chilli powder in a dish and mix well.
- Rub half of the rim of the glass with the slice of lime.
- Dip the rim of the glass in the dish with the salt and chilli powder.
- Place the ice and tequila into a blender and process until the ice is crushed.
- Now add the remaining ingredients and process for a few seconds to mix the cocktail. The ice should now be slushy.
- Empty the contents into the glass.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
If you are making a few margaritas it is worth mixing a bulk load of salt and chilli powder as it is easier to dip the rim of the glass into a larger quantity. Just keep a ratio of 3:1 of salt to chilli powder.

It’s a fair point Ron.. here’s a link to the corresponding tamarind cordial recipe. Let me know if you give it a try.
I agree with Ron, please explain the fusion process this sounds intriging
This sounds like a drink worth trying, but as tamarind cordial is hardly a household product, I’m perplexed that the recipe would be featured without a word of explanation, tips on sourcing–or maybe even a way of infusing one’s own.
