Death by Shot

The "Death by Shot" is a bold and fiery concoction designed for those who seek an adventurous drinking experience. This shot combines the sharp and robust taste of 1 oz of Silver Tequila with the intense heat of 8 drops of hot sauce, finished with a vibrant red pepper garnish. The tequila provides a smooth and slightly sweet base, while the hot sauce adds an exhilarating kick that awakens the senses. The red pepper serves as both a visual and flavorful accent, enhancing the overall intensity of the drink.

Its reputation as a fiery challenge has made it a favorite in bars that cater to thrill-seekers and fans of the unconventional.
