For the shredded pork, cut the pork shoulder into 4 large pieces. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place a dutch oven on the stove top on medium heat. Add oil and pork to the dutch oven. Cook the pieces for about 10 minutes or until brown on all sides. Add the tequila, onions, garlic clove, chicken stock, and salt pepper to the dutch oven and cover with a lid. Place in the pre-heated oven and cook for 3-4 hours or until fork tender. Remove the pork pieces, place in a bowl and strain the sauce. Using 2 forks, shred the meat. Return the shredded meat and the sauce to the dutch oven. Over medium heat, place on the stovetop cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid has settled into the meat and it's a nice juicy mixture. Serve immediately or rewarm when you're ready to enjoy!
For the dressing, in a bowl, combine the tequila, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, and hot sauce. Pulse until it all comes together. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream, then whisk until smooth. Season to taste.
