None 10 Photos Uncap Real Flavor Tailgate
Not so long ago, we asked you to show us how you uncap real flavor by using Cholula Hot Sauce at your tailgate or football watch parties.

Those who did were automatically entered to win the ultimate at-home tailgate, involving copious amounts of delicious food, drinks and other such necessities.

One lucky person received this prize (here’s a look at their hot-sauce-fueled watch party). Everyone, however, can bask in the Most Important Hot Sauce Accessories, a collection of the finest crackers, drink mixes and tasting spoons on earth to complement your Cholula during this year’s Super Bowl.

“Hot sauce accessories.” Yeah, it’s a real thing.

It would be wrong to tarnish the integrity of this Bloody Mary mix—made from San Marzano tomatoes that grew on the foothills of Mount Vesuvius—with anything other than Cholula. $12, Lava Bloody Mary Mix

Seventy-five exquisite Rappahannock River oysters from Virginia + two bottles of Cholula = the best Super Bowl party appetizer and math problem you’ve ever executed. $129, Rappahannock River Oysters

You can’t host a hot sauce tasting at halftime without the proper bamboo spoons. Oh, you’re hosting a hot sauce tasting at halftime. $9, Bamboo Wooden Spoons

Anything you cook will also likely require this pinstriped canvas apron with hand-dyed leather straps to protect your clothing from wayward splashes. $138, Stanley & Sons Deluxe Apron

Some people put hot sauce directly onto crackers. Others use crackers to accessorize their soups and dips. Either way, these crisp rosemary crackers are here for you. $7.50, Dean & Deluca Rosemary Crackers

Finally, a tray that’s worthy of your sommelier-level hot sauce presentation. $117, Olive & Cocoa Ashland Mirrored Tray

Chicharrones. Cholula. Football. This one’s easy. $69, Garcia’s Kitchen Chicharrones

And no Super Bowl party would be complete without your favorite chicken wings. So make sure you get those. Then deploy your hot sauce liberally, and enjoy the game. With everything above, it would be impossible not to.
