Stu's Smoked Jalapeño
Savory Drink Enhancer
Ritual over routine. Because you are worth it.
We're Not a Pre-Made Mix
Pre-made mixes treat your gatherings like errands. Your people like an inconvenience. Your time like something to minimize.
We're the opposite.
This Is Not Another Bottle off the Gas Station Shelf
We live in a grab-and-go world. Everything is optimized for speed. Open the bottle. Pour it in. Fast, cheap, forgettable.
Stu's is different.
We're the all-natural seasoning that transforms tomato juice, Clamato, beer, or bone broth into bar-quality drinks...and you get to make make exactly how you like them.
One bottle replaces 8+ ingredients. Just add your base, and you're done.
This is ritual. Not routine.
What It Is:
Short answer: We're the seasoning. You choose the juice. (and Booze)
Long answer: Stu's Smoked Jalapeño is a concentrated blend of Midwestern pickle brine, sea salt, premium Worcestershire, custom made hot sauce, and a secret spice mix.
It's the complex flavors you'd normally measure out individually. No tomato juice. No fillers. Just pure, bold, flavor that you add to whatever base you want.
Why no tomato juice? Because drinks are intimate and personal. Your taste, your heat level, your choice of base...that's what makes a drink yours.
Pre-made mixes are one-size-fits-all. Too spicy for some, too bland for others, and then you have to doctor it up.
With Stu's, you control everything: add more for extra heat, less for mild. Choose regular tomato, low-sodium, V8, Clamato for Caesars, carrot juice, or even bone broth.
One bottle, infinite possibilities. Stu's lets you customize your drink in a way no pre-made mix ever could.
Your ritual, your way.
Why Choose Smoked Jalapeño?
If Classic is your Sunday brunch staple, Smoked Jalapeño is your weekend warrior. More heat. More depth. More complexity.
This is for people who:
- Think Classic needs more kick
- Love smoky, charred flavors
- Want their Micheladas to pack a punch
- Grill steaks and need a killer marinade
- Order everything that has some spice to it
Still fully customizable. Still 12+ drinks per bottle. Just bolder.
Pro pairing: Smoked Jalapeño is incredible with tequila-based drinks, grilled meats, and beer cocktails. (In addition to Bloody Marys)
How to Use It:
For Bloody Marys:
- Add 1-2 oz Stu's Smoked Jalapeño to glass
- Pour 5-6 oz tomato juice or V8
- Add vodka or tequila (tequila = game changer)
- Ice, garnish, enjoy
Makes 12-16 drinks per bottle
But wait, there's more:
- Caesar Cocktails: Use Clamato for a smoky, spicy Caesar
- Micheladas: Add to beer + lime (this is why it exists)
- Morning Ritual: 1-2 tsp in hot bone broth for serious depth
- Cooking: Steak marinade, taco seasoning, chili base, grilled chicken glaze

Why Ritual Matters:
Pre-made mixes are routine.
Grab the bottle. Pour it in. Drink whatever they decided you should taste. One-size-fits-all. Fast. Forgettable.
Stu's is ritual.
The intentional act of building your drink exactly right. Choosing your base. Adjusting your heat. The sixty seconds that transforms brunch from routine to moment.
Pre-made mixes are rushing.
Convenience over quality. Speed over substance. Get it down and move on.
Stu's is reflection.
The pause before the gathering. The step away from the screen. The choice to slow down when everything else is telling you to hurry.
Pre-made mixes are transactional.
A bottle. A product. Something to consume and discard.
Stu's is connection.
The people you make this for. Yourself. Your Sunday crew. The friends who deserve more than grab-and-go shortcuts.
You're worth real ingredients, not artificial compromises.
The people you gather around are worth the extra minute.
The moments you create together are worth slowing down for.
This isn't indulgence. It's respect. For them. For you. For what you're building together.
We're not a pre-made mix. Welcome to the ritual.
