Season with celery salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika. If you prefer a slightly sweeter flavor, mix in the sugar at this stage.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more hot sauce for spiciness, lemon juice for acidity, or Worcestershire sauce for depth.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
