RASPADO DE MARGARITA
Who doesn't love a margarita? Well, this is one way to get the flavor in a very refreshing ice that you can keep on hand in your freezer. You'll be tempted to add more tequila, but try to refrain, because it won't freeze.

Steps:
- Combine the water, sugar, and lime zest in a small pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, allow to cool, and strain. Add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and salt. Mix well and pour into a shallow pan.
- Put in the freezer and check on it in about 1 hour. Once the edges start to freeze, scrape lightly with a fork and continue freezing. Check the ice every hour, scraping with a fork each time, until completely frozen. If the ice crystals are too large, leave at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it begins to melt again, and then freeze as before.
MARGARITA
Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City, developed this adaptation of a classic cocktail. Reposado tequila gives the drink a smooth smokiness. For a more vegetal flavor, substitute blanco (unaged) tequila.

RASPADOS DE TAMARINDO (TAMARIND ICES)
I am a Mexican-American and I have been craving a raspado! I live in New York and they're a little hard to come by. So I decided to make them. Most American ices are made with sugar and lots of diluted flavor. But raspados have lots of flavor and real pulp. Trust me, this is authentic.

Steps:
- Place tamarind pods, cleaned of all shells and peels, into a saucepan. Pour in 3 cups water, or as needed to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until water and pulp are reduced by 1/4, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Strain tamarind pulp through a fine mesh strainer into another saucepan; discard seeds. Pour remaining 5 cups water through strainer to wash as much pulp as possible into the mixture. If desired, check pulp left in strainer for any hard pieces of peel and shell and add pulp back into tamarind mixture.
- Place tamarind mixture over low heat and cook until warm but not boiling, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir sugar into tamarind mixture until sugar has dissolved. If mixture is too thick, add 1/4 cup water. Divide shaved ice into 6 glasses and pour tamarind mixture over shaved ice to serve.
