ISO tabasco sub

[jabbur]

I have my Brunswick stew on the stove. Went to add the tabasco sauce and OMG! I'm out! What can I cub for the little bit of heat? I usually only add about 1/4 tsp but I notice the flavor isn't the same without it. Any one have any suggestions?

Tabasco is a combination of hot pepper and vinegar. I'd do some cayenne and a tiny splash of white vinegar.

Thanks Andy. I was thinking of adding some cayenne or some red pepper flakes but wasn't sure if they would be a good sub. The recipe already has vinegar in it so I will just add a splash with the cayenne.
