when in doubt go for the hot sauce.

a few weekends ago i was at a bbq celebrating my friend cristin's graduation from her UCB improve class, and it was a blast. i did have some tequila leftover from a solstice festival i was at the prior day. i also had some orange juice so my first thought was "tequila sunrise!!!!" alas, no grenadine. as i was scouring the fridge for some other mix in my friend pointed out the hot sauce and i never looked back.

Flaming Mary/Cholula Sunrise

• tequila
• orange juice
• hot sauce

1. mix your poisons together to your liking. that's it.

Don't use louisiana style hot sauce with this. we tried some, and the vinegar flavor was way too overpowering. i would stick with cholula, valentina, or other south of the border sauces. now i love spicy things, but i definitely had to add more hot sauce than i thought i was going to. i think this would also be amazingly yummy with mango juice instead of orange. sip on this all summer.
