Hott Jalapeno, Lime and Mezcal Sauce

Fresh, smoky and dangerously drinkable in flavour, this tastes like something a particularly rebellious bartender would pour over tacos after closing time.

The jalapeños keep the heat gentle and grassy, while the lime delivers a sharp citrus freshness that makes the whole sauce feel incredibly lively. Then the mezcal creeps in with a soft smoky edge that lingers beautifully alongside the charred onion and garlic.

Absolutely glorious on fish tacos, grilled chicken, nachos and anything involving avocado. I also suspect this would rescue many disappointing burritos from mediocrity.

Charred Onion and Garlic provide sweetness, body and smokiness. Jalapenos lend a mild heat and soft texture.

This Hott. sauces uses mezcal to layer smoke and apply depth lifted by the clean citrus edge of lime juice.
