In a 16-ounce Mason jar or a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, softened unsalted butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce, and smoked paprika. Whisk these ingredients together briefly until well combined.

Add the mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, finely chopped fresh dill, finely chopped fresh parsley, and freshly ground black pepper to the jar. Finish by adding the additional 1 teaspoon of hot sauce (or more, to taste, for extra spice).

Securely seal the Mason jar with its lid. Vigorously shake the jar for 1 to 2 minutes, or until all ingredients are fully combined and emulsified into a thick, creamy, pale yellow-green sauce with visible herb and red specks.

Taste the Cowboy Butter Ranch and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you may add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water or milk and shake again. Serve immediately as a dip or sauce, or refrigerate for later use. The flavors will meld further if allowed to chill for at least 30 minutes.
