The unusual combination of tamarind syrup and tonic makes this drink both dry and exceptionally refreshing, with a slight bitterness.

  1. 2 cups tamarind syrup (see Note)
  2. 4 quarts chilled tonic
  3. 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large punch bowl or 2 large pitchers and serve in tall glasses over ice. 
Notes Sweetened tamarind syrup (tamarindo) is available at most Asian and Latin markets.
