Current favorites are The Seventh Reaper and Heartbeat Scorpion. Tasty and hot but not stupid hot.
Oh and in the milder end: Dirty Dick’s Hot Pepper Sauce With a Tropical Twist
Whatever nozzle fits in my ass best so I can boof it.
- Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce (kinda my default)
- Tobasco scorpion (another default)
- yuca tecca reserve (for tacos usually with another sauce for more heat)
- trappey’s tobacco peppers (for hot dogs, eggs, and chili)
- Melinda’s ghost pepper wing sauce (for nuggies)
Tobasco or a mild cherry hot sauce
Trappey’s Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.
Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.
Hot sauce is for people who dont enjoy taste.
I go for salsas and chunky condiments (e.g. black bean chilli crisp, hot Indian chutneys) than just a liquid hot sauce, even then it’s sriracha.
Encona West Indian Papaya Hot Pepper Sauce
I haven’t tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I’m eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy’s when I can get them.
sambal djeroek
In the Netherlands I use adjuma pepper instead of habanero and mix sweet orange juice + lime as the sour orange replacement.
Professor Phardtpounder’s Colon Cleaner.
There’s this belizean hot sauce called Marie Sharp’s, I get the gold one. Doesn’t sting me at all, my family can’t handle heat, but it does the job well enough.
My favourite however is Salsa Macha. Can’t get dried pepper where I’m at though, or I’d make it myself. Goes great with just about anything, even compound butter slathered bbq steaks.
Might not sound interesting - or maybe it isn’t even a “hot sauce”, but since it’s like, the only I know, schezwan.
