#9 Cocktail: Arawak

    The Arawak are a group of indigenous peoples od South America and historically of the Caribbean.
     The Arawak cocktail was created by Gaz Regan for the Trotter bar in Trinidad and it's a variation of the Algonquin cocktail.
     It is not -one of my favorite cocktails out there, but it is not bad at all. The predominant taste is  the bourbon but you can feel in coming from the back the pineapple and the tamarind flavors.
    From what I know, this is the only cocktail (from what I've seen) the uses the tamarind juice.

2 ounces bourbon
1/2 dry vermouth
1/4 pineapple juice
1 dash tamarind juice
Angostura bitters to taste (I used 2 dashes)
1 pineapple cube, for garnish
