Some like it hot—even if that is sometimes too hot to handle! National Hot Sauce Day was January 22nd, but if you missed it, don’t worry—there’s always time to set your mouth ablaze with awesome hot sauces. Here are some fiery condiments that you should celebrate with.
Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce
The taste of Secret Aardvark is far from conventional. There are around 20 ingredients in this hot sauce, with flavors of tomato, mustard, and sweet chili all coming through. With a Scoville rating of 5,000 units, this Caribbean / Tex-Mex sauce is hot, but won’t blow off your head.
Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
If you’re searching for a classic hot sauce, grab a bottle of Frank’s RedHot. Although it doesn’t have that much of a burn, the pepper flavor and zing from the vinegar make up for it. There is also no better sauce to make buffalo wings with.
Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce
The name sort of says it all when it comes to this sauce. At a Scoville rating of 135,600 units, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce is not for the faint of heart! It became (in)famous on the web series, Hot Ones, where it caused a few tears, but it is at least far milder than Hot Ones—The Last Dab which scores a frightening 2 million SHU.
