1. Chuffed Sweet Heat
This hot sauce is certified gluten-free, preservative-free free and vegan. The only kicker with this stuff is the sauce is made in small batches so stock tends to be limited and runs out fast. But if you can get your hands on a bottle, you’re in luck.
2. Tia Lupita Habanero Hot Sauce
Tia Lupita’s Hot Sauce features just seven natural ingredients and is also free of gluten and preservatives. This particular hot sauce has been passed down through family generations and is brought to you by Hector, the son of Tia Lupita who perfected this several-generation-old hot sauce recipe.
3. Flavor and Fire Foods Taco Cat Sauce
If you like it hot, I’m talking uncomfortably hot, sweating profusely as you eat hot, then this ghost pepper-based hot sauce is your next go-to. While it can go on top of whatever your heart desires, this sauce was created with Mexican food in mind, so stock up for your next Taco Tuesday.
4. Rancho Gordo Hot Sauce
Mixing pumpkin seeds and chipotle peppers, this hot sauce features a slightly tomato-y type of flavor but it’s all chiles. Either purchase a bottle of the flagship hot sauce, Felicidad Chipotle Sauce, or there is a gift basket option with all four flavors that they offer.
5. Hawaiian Chili Pepper Sauce
This sauce is a deep, but delicious find. Kauai Juice Co., mostly known for their kombuchas and wellness juices has taken a stab at this whole hot sauce thing. Their sauce is a bit interesting though with habanero, blueberries, onion, garlic and apple cider vinegar. Definitely not your typical hot sauce.
6. Hot Ones Hot Sauce 10 Pack
Why pick just one hipster hot sauce to try out when you can have 10? By now, considering you’re a hot sauce enthusiast, you’ve probably seen “Hot Ones,” the infamous hot wings interview with host Sean Evans and his myriad of celebrity guests. This pack features the sauces from season 24 so grab a box and try them out for yourself.
