The Ultimate Tamarind Raspado | Bold, Tangy, & Perfectly Icy

This isn't just a drink poured over ice—it's a raspado, where the ice is the canvas, and the tamarind is the masterpiece. We're making a deep, rich tamarind syrup from whole pods, packed with that naturally sour, caramel-like tang that only real tamarind delivers. When poured over finely shaved ice, every crystalline bite carries that intense, mouth-puckering flavor. The chamoy and tajín add a spicy-sweet kick, but they're just supporting actors to finish with a zing. Ingredients for tamarind syrup: 110 g tamarind Boiling water enough to cover the tamarind 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 1/2 a lime A pinch of salt Serve over shaved ice, top with chamoy and chilli powder.
