Tamarind and date cocktail

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes’ cooling time

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

125 g white sugar
10 g fresh ginger, grated
20 g lemongrass paste
2 limes, juiced, rind reserved
½ cup Woolworths tamarind & date chutney
¾ cup water
alcohol of choice, for serving
soda water, for serving

Method

1. Place the sugar, ginger, lemongrass paste, lime juice, tamarind and date chutney and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook over low heat until it becomes fragrant about 15–20 minutes. Strain the mixture into a glass jug and let it cool for at least 30 minutes; this will also help it thicken.

2. To serve, divide the syrup between 6 glasses, add a tot of your favourite alcoholic beverage to each, top up with soda water, and garnish with a piece of lime rind.
