A Prairie Fire is a mixed drink consisting of whiskey, or another strong liquor, and hot sauce. Many variations of a Prairie Fire in "shot" form exist. It is believed that the practice of mixing whiskey and hot sauce originated in the American Midwest as a punishment for patrons that lost bar bets in the 1970s. Since then, many types of alcohol have been substituted for whiskey, with tequila being the most popular.

Variations
Lighter versions may contain much less hot sauce, down to as little as a dash. Some recommend 1:1 mixture, some recommend 1:2 and even less. For the less brave, a hearty dash of the chosen hot sauce is all that is required.
