The recipe was in the Los Angeles Times.

1/2 ounce Jamaican rum, preferably Smith & Cross
3/4 ounce pineapple juice
1/2 ounce lime juice

4 to 5 drops bitters, preferably the Bitter End Mexican Mole
Lime wheel and pineapple leaf, garnish
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the rums with the pineapple juice, lime juice, tamarind syrup and bitters. Shake well, then strain over an ice-filled Collins glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and pineapple leaf.

I saw that and thought it looked pretty good. But I don't have any tamarind syrup and not sure I really want to get some for just one drink. If you make it, give us a report

I bet you could make tamarind syrup from canned tamarind nectar available in Hispanic markets. Mix equal parts nectar and sugar, heat until sugar disolves, strain thru a coffee filter if desired?
Edit - spelling

You know, you're right. And I actually do have tamarind nectar. Maybe this weekend....
