Author Notes: Mad scientist ‘mixologist in my head’ mode.. this was the end result! —Panfusine
Food52 Review: Tangorita’ – Thank goodness it’s always five o’clock somewhere, right? That will definitely be the my attitude when this drink is around. I generally prefer bitter over fruity drinks, but Panfusine’s clever take on the margarita won me over with its fragrant complexity. The mango, tamarind, and lime form a sort-of tangy fruit brigade that is flanked by the bite of booze on the one side and earthy spice on the other. I wasn’t surprised that mango and tamarind worked well here; the real surprise and stealer of the show is the chat masala, which is amazing with both the fruits and with the tequila. —fiveandspice
