Surprise your friends with a hint of heat in their dessert. The flavor of the Sriracha comes through gently, with the spice balanced by the delicate sweet perfume of ripe peaches. To really gild the lily, serve a scoop with fresh berries and top with a handful of crushed gingersnaps and fresh sprigs of mint.

Micheladas are popular beer cocktails south of the border, and when you have one on a sweltering hot day, it's easy to see why. The flavors of a Bloody Mary, jazzed up with the oh-so-refreshing bubbles only a cold beer can provide, plus a bright squeeze of citrus to boot? Yeah, I'll be in my hammock if anybody needs me.

If you’re looking for the answers to your sandwich prayers, I assure you this is it. Okay, so it’s probably not a great combo for your PB&J, but your panini will definitely make a quantum leap up the yum scale from delicious to ridiculous.

This salt is great for rimming a tasty Srirachelada or a frosty margarita. I also like to put a few flakes on my steaks just before serving for added punch. Try sprinkling some over popcorn, French fries, fresh avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or edamame. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, dust a couple of grains on top of decadent chocolate truffles.
