Pairs well with

The first rung. Fire-roasted jalapeño, tart tomatillo and a hard squeeze of lime: bright, green and barely warm. This is the bottle for eggs, tacos and the friend who swears they don't do spicy.

Sold in packs of three or six 5 fl oz bottles, so there's one for the kitchen, one for the table and one to give away.

All six Hotlark bottles in a row, the heat bars on their labels climbing from 2 to 10
