You can decorate with a few shrimp. Lovers of aniseed flavors can also add some sliced fennel to the drug.
You can spread pepper generously and replace the Tabasco by  Espelette or cayenne pepper. A little dash of vodka can also help to season the mixture.

If you are really hot, put the chilled soup in the freezer and let set until it gets the consistency of semi-ice.
