- 1 ounce Tamarind-Chile Syrup

- 1 lime wedge
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place tequila and syrup in a cocktail shaker, fill halfway with ice, and shake until well chilled, about 10 seconds. Pour into a rocks glass, squeeze lime wedge over top, and serve.

Squirrel Horchata
By Amy Wisniewski
Horchata may seem a strange mate for alcohol, but its nutty, citrusy base is a perfect vehicle for a Squirrel Sour cocktail (a base spirit, lemon, or lime juice, and a nut-flavored liqueur). Although there’s no lime included in this recipe, the horchata itself has enough lime in it to qualify this cocktail as a Squirrel Sour variation.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add remaining ingredients. Stir vigorously with a barspoon until chilled. Pour into a rocks glass, and serve with a swizzle stick.
