Why Tamarind Works in a Sour
Tamarind naturally combines sweetness and acidity, making it highly suitable for sour-style cocktails. The addition of egg white creates a velvety mouthfeel that rounds out the sharp citrus and highlights the deeper spice notes within the liqueur. The result is a cocktail that feels both tropical and refined. More about tamarind.
