Route 40
A few years ago I drove across the country from Tennessee to San Francisco. While on the journey, I stopped off for a road side stand and ate a delicious, sweet and tangy pod like fruit called tamarind. The fruit originally grows on trees native to Africa. The naturally tangy sweet flavors of the tamarind legume fruit is worth a try especially with a spicy dusted kick of Cayenne. This road side adventure inspired the following cocktail. Spicy, sweet, and tangy. COMPONENTS: Muddle tamarind and cayenne powder (to taste) in mezcal tequila. Strained, adding fresh squeezed grapefruit and a few spoonfuls of pomegranate molasses. Sweeten to taste with simple syrup (optional). Shake on the rocks served in a smoky salt rimed glass. Enjoy!
