Prairie Fire - Tequila & Hot Sauce Shot

Prairie Fire combines Tequila Blanco and Hot Sauce in a short spicy shot. The tequila provides the agave backbone while a few dashes of hot sauce add heat, vinegar, and chile flavor.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Tequila Blanco - clean agave base.
• Hot Sauce - chile heat and acidity.

Equipment

• Shot Glass
• Jigger

Keep the Heat Measured

Three dashes are enough to make the shot clearly spicy without burying the tequila. Different hot sauces vary considerably, so the measured recipe should remain the starting point.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use reposado tequila for a rounder agave profile.
• Try a smoky hot sauce for more depth.
• Add a tiny pinch of salt to the rim rather than increasing the sauce.

Helpful Tips

• Chill the tequila if preferred.
• Use a standard hot sauce rather than an extract-level product.
• Do not exceed the measured heat casually; sauces vary widely in intensity.
• Serve immediately after building.
