4 Flavors to Celebrate National Hot Sauce Day

Bring some smoky goodness with chipotle pepper sauces! Chipotle peppers are known for their complex smoky flavors and delicate sweetness—which are made even better with the Torchbearer touch. We’ve ditched the artificial flavors and preservatives typical of so many store-bought sauces, using only fruits, veggies, spice blends, and the naturally smoky flavors of chipotle to bottle up a flavor explosion. Make a delish recipe with hot sauce using the garlicky and savory flavors of Shinedown’s Symptom Chipotle Garlic, sweet-smoky-spicy Son of Zombie (featured on Hot Ones!), or another smoky sauce to ring in the holiday.

Sweet flavors on National Hot Sauce Day? You better believe it! Ingredients like honey and citrus fruits swirl together with your favorite peppers—Reaper, Scorpion, habanero—for sweet hot sauces that are guaranteed to satisfy your craving for spice…and maybe your sweet tooth, too. Try something new this year! Normally use medium hot sauces? Go for a face melter like Honey Badger or Plum Reaper. Love sauces that are less akin to lava? Tamp things down with a milder sauce like Honey Garlic.

A little spiciness is practically a given on a holiday literally about hot sauce. But we don’t want those same-old bottles that are filled with vinegar and heat just for the sake of being spicy. What do we want? Flavor! When do we want it? NOW! Our spicy hot sauces are filled with awesome flavors and heat. That’s because we let the natural flavors of peppers, fruits, and vegetables shine.
