Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Brandy
  • 1 cup Cream Cheese; Softened
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup Fresh Tuna; Flaked, OR
  • 6 1/2 ounce Tuna; Flaked, Well Drained
  • 2 tablespoon Green Onion; Minced, Use All
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon Hot Sauce

Directions
  1. 1
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and brandy. Beat with a spoon or electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. 2
    Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated and the texture is uniform.

    Gently fold in the flaked tuna, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the creamy base without breaking up the flakes too much.

  5. 5
    Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or lemon juice to balance the richness.
  6. 6
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately at room temperature.
  7. 7
    Serve chilled or at room temperature with onion crackers, French bread cubes, cheese crackers, celery root, cucumber slices, radishes, or Monterey Jack cheese sticks.
