Shaking is key! It helps to blend all the flavors together and chill the drink perfectly.
Variations or substitutions
Try adding a splash of pickle juice for an extra tang, or substitute gin for vodka for a different twist!
Storage tips
Best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the mixture (without ice and garnishes) in advance and store it in the fridge for a day or two.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less hot sauce and horseradish based on your personal preference!
