Drunken Sailor – Jalapeño & Tequila Relish – 260g - Vegan, GF

Bright heat. Sweet depth. A tequila wink — your instant “taco night” upgrade.

This bold little jar brings together jalapeño heat, a touch of molasses richness, warm cumin, and a splash of tequila for a relish that’s equal parts sweet, savoury and spicy. It’s the kind of condiment that makes tacos, burgers, and nachos feel like a proper treat — without adding extra steps.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because it’s a fast, versatile flavour booster. One spoon adds heat, sweetness, and depth — perfect for Mexican-style nights, BBQs, and quick lunches where you want maximum flavour with minimum effort.

Chef Ian’s favourite ways to use it

• Tacos & nachos: spoon on top right before serving
• Burgers & hotdogs: swap plain relish for jalapeño-tequila kick
• Mayo magic: stir through mayo for a next-level sandwich spread
• Guacamole upgrade: fold in a spoon for sweet-heat depth
• Roast veg: toss through corn, capsicum, zucchini, or sweet potato
• Focaccia bake-on: smear lightly before baking for a punchy topping
• BBQ finishing sauce: drizzle over grilled chicken or steak
