Embracing his inner foodie, Joel McHale has added yet another credit to his long lineup: CHO, or Chief Happy Hour Officer, for Q Mixers. Joking with his Zoom audience at the Q Mixers event, McHale discussed his signature cocktails as beginning with a quality cocktail mix, joking that a bad cocktail mix is an "abomination of God." As this is the same foodie who says his perfect food pairing would be "tacos with a side of fireworks or firecrackers," it's best to take this all in jest.
In seriousness, however, McHale could not stop raving about his secret ingredient for both his "Saucy Mary" and his "Honey, I Need a Margarita:" barbecue sauce. The margarita features a sweet & spicy honey barbecue with lime, margarita mix, and some good tequila. Rim the glass with Tajin, he suggests. For the Saucy Mary, try "your favorite vodka" with a fantastic Bloody Mary mix, barbecue sauce, and lemon juice; garnish with peppered jerky.
McHale explains that the sauce essentially doesn't taste like barbecue but instead adds a subtle smokiness to both drinks. This ingredient may be more common than you realize, too. As Alcohol Professor notes, people often add ingredients such as sriracha, mustard, steak sauce, or barbecue sauce to a Bloody Mary. Thrillist recommends that "particularly smoky" sauces may better pair with a Mezcal, however.
