Pacific Rim Cocktail
It's best to use a prepackaged tamarind drink for this cocktail. It was tested with Sari Asam brand, available at Uwajimaya.
1 ounce Malibu coconut rum
2 ounces tamarind juice drink
1/4 ounce fresh lime juice
Lime and sugar for garnish

1. Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with a lime wedge, dip the glass at an angle into a shallow dish of sugar, so that the sugar sticks to only a half moon of the rim.

2. Combine the rum, tamarind juice and lime juice in a large, tall glass two-thirds full of ice. Shake, then strain into the cocktail glass and garnish with a lime wheel.
