  Oh was it made with Dave’s Hot Sauce? I had a customer bring in his own Ultimate Insanity hot sauce to use in a Prairie Fire shot (tequila+hot sauce). Shit looked ROUGH. He let me keep the hot sauce after though and it became one of my partner’s favourites.

    alcohol an capsaicin hits hard. the alcohol acts as a surfactant and your throat just gets obliterated. even vodka+tabasco can be pretty rough.

      Yeah it’s totally a mistake.

      I bought some stupid hot sauces out of curiosity a few years ago (last dab kind of sauces, they are fairly hot but still edible) but was not prepared for the heat. I tried some milk and bread and whatever and it didn’t help clear my mouth. It was on my tongue and my lips and I wanted it OFF.

      So having watched some of the “plutonium” hot sauce videos I put my obviously very big brain to work. In some of those videos, capsaicin crystals are dissolved in alcohol. I thought to myself, “alcohol dissolves capsaicin, my mouth is hot from capsaicin, I have an idea”. It was not a good idea.

      I swished and swallowed a shot of vodka.

      As you say, it really helped the spicy coat my ENTIRE mouth and top of my throat. If you have never had spicy pain in between your teeth and coating your entire gumline, it is really something else. 2/10 would not recommend.

      In any event, a lesson was learned that day that I doubt I will forget.

      I took a shot of everclear one time and felt my throat close up immediately. I couldn’t breath and felt panic for what felt like 2 minutes but was actually just 10 seconds. I imagine adding hot sauce would have ended me.
