The McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco sauce since the mid 1800's, recently expanded its line of fiery pepper sauces. Don't feel you have to stick with the traditional red sauce; instead, try chipotle, green, habanero or garlic pepper. Serving Ideas: Cool these spicy morsels down with beer, white wine or a Cajun martini, (for the martini you can use pepper-infused vodka). From Party Nuts!
