There are hundreds of different types of hot sauce out there, so feel free to experiment with different ones.

If you don’t want your drink to be too spicy, simply omit the hot sauce or use less than what is called for in the recipe. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!

FAQS:  

Some people are unfamiliar about the spice, Tajin, so here’s some information for you:

  • Tajin is actually a brand name, not just a type of chili lime salt!
  • It’s a Mexican seasoning that is made with chili peppers, dehydrated lime juice, and salt.
  • Tajin is often used as a condiment for fruits and vegetables, or as a seasoning for meats and poultry. It can also be used to rim cocktails, like in this recipe. 

This spicy shot has been around for a couple of decades and seems to have originated from Mexico and around the border towns, like El Paso, Texas. Pair it with your Mexican dinner for a fun treat!
