Drunken Tuna Dip or Sandwich Spread

Description: I adopted this from the Recipezaar account and updated the ingredients/instructions after making it. Updated again to add capers to ingredients. Serve as a spread for sandwiches or with crackers, veggies, bread cubes, and/or cheese sticks as a dip.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 1/2 teaspoons brandy
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 (6 ounce) cans albacore tuna in water, drained & flaked
• 2 whole green onions, minced
• 4 teaspoons capers, drained

Steps:

1. Beat (with a mixer or by hand) the cream cheese, brandy, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt to a smooth and creamy consistency.
2. Blend in the sour cream and mayonnaise.
3. Mix in the tuna, green onion, and capers and blend until almost smooth.
4. May be served at room temperature or chilled.
