Toasted Coconut and Tamarind Syrup
1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
5 ounces tamarind pulp
The Coco-Tamarindo (a Summer Cocktail)
2.5 ounces golden rum
1 ounce toasted coconut tamarind syrup
1 tablespoon coconut milk
1 lime wedge, for garnish

1
Toast the coconut in a stainless steel pot until lightly golden. (Stir frequently; it will quickly burn if left unattended.)
2
As soon as most of the coconut has toasted, add the water to stop the browning process.
3
Add the sugar and tamarind.
4
Keeping the syrup on a low simmer, stir frequently and break up the tamarind pulp with your spoon as it softens.
5
Once the tamarind pulp has dissolved and you have a rich, deep golden brown, sweet-and-sour coconut-tamarind syrup at hand, strain into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer to remove all the coconut and remaining fine tamarind pulp and fibers.
6
If you want to have your cocktails right away, (and let's be honest, you do), stick the bowl of syrup in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill a bit. And if you have enormous self control and you're making this syrup in advance, (admirable! and a great idea!), just cover it and stick it in the fridge.
7
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
8
Measure and add the rum, toasted coconut tamarind syrup, and coconut milk.
9
Shake, strain, and pour into a cocktail glass.
10
Garnish with a wedge of lime.
