Cocktails

Hot sauce in cocktails is nothing new — we've all had our share of Sunday brunch Bloody Mary experiences — but that's just tip of the celery stalk.

Fish

Sandwiches

When your sandwich needs a boost of flavor or you're looking for a quick and easy way to elevate your homemade French fries, look no further than this zesty condiment. Try slathering Sriracha-lime mayo on your tacos instead of salsa or adding a dollop to a piece of grilled lamb. — Molly Aronica
