This drink was invented with inspiration from a lemon-ginger sharbat that I used to drink at my masi's house. In India, guests just drop-in without any kind of advance notice whatsoever regardless of the time of the day so its a common practice to make & store snacks & drinks to serve the unexpected guests. Hospitality is deeply woven into our traditional roots. A very famous sanskrit phrase says "Athithi Devoh Bhavaha" translates literally to "Guests are avataar/form of God" Thus, at my masi's house they always had this lemon-ginger sharbat ready anytime they had guests. I remember hating that drink because for years & years they served the same drink to every guest that came to their house. Few years back, I was craving for the flavor of that drink so I came up with my signature version of a drink that has the lemon-ginger flavor. Salt, jeera, black pepper & tequila was added to make it EXOCTIC!
Ingredients: 3 cups Margarita mix, 3 cups water, 2 & half tsp jeera powder, 1 tsp black pepper powder, 2 tsp grated ginger, salt to taste. Add Tequila shots as per your preference if you want to make margaritas with alcohol.
Method: Mix all of the above ingredients and serve chilled.
