Curated Picks
Choosing between 700 sauces can be overwhelming, so let us put our 10+ years of experience to work. Keep scrolling for our top recommendations in various categories.
Starter Sauces
If you're totally new to the world of hot sauce, these sauces are a great place to start. None of them are overwhelmingly spicy but they offer serious flavor and broad appeal.
Secret Aardvark
A tomato-based habanero sauce with a cult following, Aardvark has been an entry point into the world of hot sauce for many people.
Marie Sharp's Hot Habanero
The original habanero sauce from Belize, it starts with a bright tangy lime flavor and carrots provide a solid body and hint of sweetness. Total classic!
Infinity Chipotle
One of our most popular craft sauces, Infinity Chipotle starts sweet, followed by a bold smoky flavor and mellow kick. It's a crowd pleaser.
Coleman's Tabasco Cayenne
If you love the classic vinegar based style, this sauce is a great upgrade. Nothing too fancy, just perfectly balanced tang.
Hottest Sauces With Flavor
Ready to dip your toe in the deep end, but don't want to sacrifice flavor? We've got you covered. These sauces are enough to start seriously testing your spice tolerance, but they're designed to be enjoyable, not just to make you hurt (if you want that, keep scrolling to our Top 3 Hottest Sauces).
Ghost Island
A bold blend of tropical fruit, island spices, and Ghost, Fatalii, and Habanero peppers. Fish tacos are the perfect pairing, but it's good enough I often find myself eating it with a spoon.
Purple Hippo
One of the most unique sauces we carry, Purple Hippo combines prickly pear cactus juice and strawberries with Scorpion peppers. The result is surprisingly well balanced and versatile.
7o8 OP
This is a sauce we loved so much we brought it back from the dead. Pineapple, pomegranate molasses, citrus, and 7-Pot Peppers blend to create the perfect pairing for pizza and chili.
Hellhound
A more pepper-forward sauce from one of our favorite local producers, Lucky Dog, Hell Hound pairs Carolina Reaper peppers with dry roasted garlic, mango, and tamarind.
Classic Vinegar Based Sauces
There's something to be said for a nice traditional tangy sauce when you want to spice up hot wings or eggs.
Coleman's Ghost
A classic vinegar based sauce with a Ghost Pepper kick. If you want a milder version, don't sleep on their Tacasco Cayenne we listed as a starter sauce.
Smoked Cayenne
Tim at Volcanic Peppers is a master of the vinegar based sauce, and this one adds the twist of smoked peppers. Try it on Creole Gumbo for some serious synergy.
Cajun Tears
We collaborated with Hella Hot Hot Sauce on this thicker vinegar based sauce that uses Scotch Bonnet chiles for a solid kick, and Malabar black pepper for an extra flavorful twist.
B-Sides
Bourbon barrel aging adds a layer of complexity to this thinner vinegar-based sauce. It's especially great for cooking, when you want to add a splash of acid to lighten up a dish.
The Perfect Sauces for Garlic Lovers
Did you know that for 99% of human history, garlic (in the old world) and chile peppers (in the new world) were separated by an ocean? Celebrate the fact that you live in an era where these two incredible ingredients have been united, with these tasty sauces.
Torchbearer Garlic Reaper
This one has a cult following, and for good reason. It has a creamy base, a boatload of garlic, but it still manages to maintain some serious heat.
Roasted Hab & Garlic (limited edition)
This is a special sauce we created with organically grown Red Paper Lantern peppers, plenty of deeply roasted garlic, and subtly sweet cider vinegar.
Jersey Barnfire Black Garlic
This is the ultimate Black Garlic sauce, with rich funky fermented notes, a thick consistency and medium heat. Incredibly tasty on pizza and in stir fries.
Seafire Habanero & Garlic
The first ingredient in this sauce is garlic — they are not messing around. The addition of habanero provides a solid kick, and citrus balances it out.
The Hottest Stuff We Carry
This is always the first question we get: what's the hottest thing you carry? Well, here they are...
Thor's Hammer
This is the hottest sauce we have that doesn't rely on pepper extracts. This means it actually tastes pretty good if you can get past the excruciating heat of Jigsaw, Chocolate Ghost, and 7-Pot Douglah peppers (among others).
Double Doomed
This one hurts. It combines superhot peppers with an extract that measures 6.66 million Scoville Heat Units (the sauce itself reportadly comes in at 4.5 million). Don't get it for the flavor, though it still tastes better than Da Bomb.
Pure Evil 13 Million
The absolute hottest thing we carry, this one comes in a vial so you can carefully add it drop by drop. Unlike many extracts, this one is totally flavorless, so it can actually be useful to spice up food without changing the flavor.
Char Man Verde
"The best green hot sauce I've ever had, nothing comes close. I typically don't like green hot sauces, they're normally just sour and low heat, but this Verde hot sauce has amazing flavor with a little heat." - Mike N.
7o8 Optimus Primo
"This came in the very first monthly box of hot sauce and is a family favorite now I have to keep buying it every couple of months. The funny thing is when you smell this I swear it smells like a Mesquite Smokey something it is fabulous on anything. The heat level is correct it is an extra hot hot sauce but it is fabulous with tons of flavor" - Heather M.
Dragon's Breath
"This one’s up there with some of the hottest superhots, and is one you don’t see too often. It has a unique smoky flavor that I’ve started using on everything, and the grinder is a great way to control the amount. Not for the faint of heart!" - Neil R.
Dia Del Perro
"Can Lucky Dog Miss? Not From What I've Tried! I've tried most of Lucky Dog's sauces and this is my 2nd favorite after Black Label. Incredible on Mexican food...almost too good even! Can basically be dumped on like salsa and the bottle will disappear in days!" - Rob B.
