Did you know that February 22 is National Margarita Day? In order to commemorate America’s most popular cocktail, Tequila Herradura – one of the oldest and most respected brands in the industry – has put a new twist on the classic recipe by bringing together two of Mexico’s most authentic flavors: agave and tamarind.

9 oz Tequila Herradura Blanco

1 liter tamarind pulp (can be found in retail locations featuring Hispanic or organic products)

4-6 oz simple syrup

Juice of 2 oranges

Juice of 2 limes

Chili powder and salt

In a container, mix tamarindo pulp, Tequila Herradura Blanco, simple syrup, orange and lime juices. Shake all of these ingredients by hand.

Fill half of a blender pitcher with ice, and complete with the liquid mix just prepared. Blend.

Serve in margarita glasses rimmed with chili powder and salt
