Detailed description
Prairie Fire is a layered shots built around tequila. Minimalist, spicy, and chaotic, like a dare in its purest form.
The build centers on 1 oz tequila blanco and 2 dashes hot sauce. In the glass, bare tequila and hot sauce make for a blunt, fiery sip, with vegetal agave notes briefly surfacing before the pepper heat takes over.
It comes together in 4 minutes and is served in a shot glass. Chill the ingredients first and pour them slowly into a shot glass if you want clean visual layers.
