- After 2 days, strain the tequila and remove the peppers.
- To make the cocktail, pour a small amount of sweet & sour into a bowl and dip the edge of a 12-ounce highball glass into the mix and then into the margarita salt and shake off the excess.
- Fill the glass with ice, and then pour the tequila, Grand Marnier, sweet & sour and Tamarind nectar into the glass in the order given.
