“My answer to a spicy Margarita,” Sarah Morrissey says, of the aptly named I’m On Fire. Mezcal in place of tequila provides a smoky profile, while Cholula hot sauce kicks up the heat. Rather than just reaching for the expected measure of lime, Morrissey uses fresh pineapple juice for both acidity and extra sweetness.
