handful of peppers
solid splash of vinegar
salt
fruit (such as mango, or citrus), vegetables (onion, garlic, carrots, etc.), and spices (a pinch of cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, etc.) as desired.

My go to is a flat of habaneros, the juice of half a lime, a tablepoon or so of salt, and vinegar (say 8oz if you're doing a 12oz bottle), a clove of garlic, and a little bit of cornstarch water. Blend until smooth, bottle.

For a more abrasively peppery/less citrusy flavour, use some green thai chillies, mirasols, fresh de arbols, red jalapenos, rocotos, and/or mirasols. For earthier or smokier flavours, go for dried or smoked peppers like anchos, guajillos or chipotles - just warm up your vinegar and soak or simmer them for half an hour or so before blending. Earthier flavours work best with a bit of sweetness. So something guajillo/ancho heavy will probably work great with orange juice, and a pinch of cinnamon.
