First stop on our tour—keep your arms and legs in the bus, ladies and gentlemen—is the longhorn Dance Hall. The required beverage there is Prairie Fire, a simple but potent mixture of tequila and Tabasco.

PRAIRIE FIRE
This cocktail is also known as a “Desert Rose,” because if the Tabasco sauce hits the tequila just right, it quickly forms a delicate rose shape in the glass. The more of these you drink, the easier it is to see the rose!
 
1 COCKTAIL
1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) tequila
2 drops of Tabasco sauce
Salt
1 lime wedge
 
Pour the tequila into a shot glass. Carefully add the Tabasco to the tequila. Hold your left hand spread so the thumb and index finger shape an “L.” Moisten the area between the thumb and index finger with your tongue or a little lime juice. Sprinkle salt on the moistened area. Bite into the lime, extracting the juice, lick the salt from your hand, and down the tequila in a single gulp. Chase with another bite of lime if necessary.
