Thoughts on Properly Spicing Up V-8
I think that V-8 would be better if it had some garlic juice in it. I have found that V-8 is helped by Sriracha. First, it adds spiciness without too much vinegar. It also has a nice garlic flavor. For my tolerance level I find that most hot sauces are far more vinegary (and salty) than they are hot. Tabasco being the most obvious example. I do like Tabasco, but if I put enough in to make V-8 spicy enough it would be too vinegary. I find that an ample portion of Sriracha and a splash of Cholula chili garlic hot sauce is pretty good. That's what I'm drinking right now in fact. A nice spicy chili powder can also help. I had some African bird's eye chili powder that I procured from the dual Specialty store, which was really nice. It's especially good if you have a large bottle of V-8 (like the ones featured in my "Making Tap Water Taste Good" entry of 5 Oct) and you put it in that and shake it around. The next day the powder has had a chance to marry with the V-8. That was probably some of the most delicious V-8 I've ever had. I've gotta pick up some more of that...
