Hot Sauce is Amazing

On most things I just go with my old reliable
It's not that hot, not fancy, but I like the taste and it's made locally.

Show off your fire bitches! Don't let this thread die!
Current selection below. Last two aren't hot sauces but are awesome to mix with.
My go-to is probably the Tobasco Habanero or Cholula Chili Garlic, depending on my mood.
The Tobasco Scorpion Sauce is for fucking real, y'all. A bit too much for me for a day-to-day sauce but I'm damned glad I got some (months after ordering; forgot I even ordered it).

This man knows whats up. Perfect heat level, perfect taste on pizza, mixed with ketchup for fries or on gyros, fried chicken, etc.I love all the Louisiana-inspired ones
Oh, a thread for me!
I only have Sriracha around regularly (Huy Fong), and that's only because it goes pretty well with everything and I am poor. When I'm able to I'll buy their garlic slasa stuff, too. Great in ramen.
The local Mexican joint I frequent has some really nice jalapeño and habanero sauces that I love. There's a Tienda Mexicana next to it; whenever I get the balls to go in there I'll have to see if they carry anything similar.
My grandparents used to get me those gift packs of hot sauces retail places sell around Christmas time, but I never used them much because it's mostly vinegar and heat without much flavor. My sister got me this for Christmas this year and so far I like it but it's something I feel works best in specific instances and not across-the-board:
(Its heat is not scary)
Really excited to keep up with his thread to get new ideas for sauces I should buy!

Mac & cheese? Try hot sauce on ice cream sometime.
Speaking of that, anyone try the Bushwick Kitchen stuff or know of any better alternatives?
Throw some of this into a glass of V8 juice and you're good to go.
I've had this before and other Melinda's stuff. Good shit.
Where did you get it? I'd love to try It (and then cry in the shower)Just got this:
Yum!... is what I said at first, only to wish someone would put me out of my misery 10 seconds later.
I wouldn't use it for wings or as a dipping sauce since I'm not insane, but I've found that it's good for spicing up ramen and other stuff. You only need to add a TINY amount and it's like using full tablespoons of just about any other fairly hot sauce like Aardvark.

It's pricey, but worth it as a Hot Ones fan.
Quick anecdote: few years ago I was in New Orleans and went to Pepper Palace. Saw this stuff and they had it out to try:

Unbeknownst to me, this is more a novelty hot sauce. Unless you are completely insane or have a genetic condition that prevents you from tasting, you wouldn't put even a moderate amount on food; maybe a couple of drops into a larger mixture of something.
Being the tough guy I am, I did a few shakes into a tortilla chip and ate it.
First 30 seconds: "Yeah, it's not too bad."
Next 20 minutes: "I've made a huge mistake."
Shit was so hot I couldn't even concentrate on sight seeing as we walked around (though I've been to French Quarter a few times and seen it all). My mouth was in pain. My tongue wanted to cut itself off and jump in the river.
I have an above-average tolerance but i wasn't even close to being able to handle this. My world
was rocked.
Worst part was I got this and a few other bottles of normal hot sauce and forgot it all in our hotel room the day we left.

I got my co-worker into Hot Ones and he, in turn, went on a buying spree on Heatonist. Brought in some Secret Aardvark today to work and it's some DAMN good stuff. I'm definitely ordering some when I get paid. He's also got bottles of The Last Dab, Dirty Dick's, and I believe that blueberry/ghost pepper sauce. I'm terrified of trying the Dab but fuck it. We all gotta die sometime.
Dude Pepper Palace doesn't fuck around. My parents brought me a bottle of Death By Salsa just as a gag gift and I of course tried just a tiny bit of it. Never again. Ever.

What are some great, much spicer hot sauces in the vain of tobasco in that they're watery enough to not change the texture of the food? Most are too thick for my tastes.
I've made homemade ghost pepper salsa for heat tolerance concerns. But given it's a sauce I don't want something that is just crazy hot and makes you cry for an hour lol.

The Last Dab is actually not that hot; real nice aroma and flavor, but it's nowhere near as hot as you'd think. Pepper X itself doesn't appear to be that hot according to the few that have got their hands on it.
Tabasco has hotter variants of their sauces, all with the same vinegary consistency you're a fan of. Their hottest sauce uses Trinidad Scorpions, and I find it much hotter than The Last Dab.
Tobaso Scorpion Sauce if you're looking for "much spicier." It's a tad bit thicker than regular Tobasco but doesn't change texture of food. It does beat your ass and lingers on your tongue though.
Not sure the stock situation but I ordered it like back in October and didn't get it until December. Check it out though.
Just tried this stuff for the first time, and it's pretty good. More flavorful than Tabasco. Wish it had a bit more of a kick though. Might try other variations now.
Yeah Cholula isn't on the spicier end but such good flavor. I can personally vouch for the Chili Garlic version. Again, not a ton of heat but you can add something to it for that.
Yesterday I was drunk and mixed like every sauce I had from my pic above. Shit was legit.
At least 30% of the dishes I eat I only eat solely because they go good with hot sauce.
The other night I was spooning Gringo Bandito into my mouth to quench a late night spicy food craving without eating a bunch of calories along without.

It's not very hot, but one recent hot sauce I've enjoyed a lot is Yuzu-It:

hhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIYT3BM
It blends spiciness with a sour citrus flavor (Yuzu) and is really quite good and flavorful.

Cholula is my go to utility hot sauce but I got some Secret Aardvark for Christmas and not sure what it would be best on. Love the taste of it.
I'm all about that Caribbean style. Scotch bonnets and Trinidad scorpions have the perfect blend of heat and flavor IMO. Matouk's line up is pretty solid across the board. One of my favorites is the Soca:
I'm getting this right now. The flavor profile of Scotch Bonnets is a great pairing with the heat.
if youre near a pepper palace i cant recommend scorpion death stalker enough
its extra hot but it completely levels up my pizza

About a month ago, I was dared to put hot sauce on some chocolate cake and eat it. It was Texas Pete I think...anyway it was disgusting.
I normally hate hot sauce anyway so I don't know why I agreed, but here we are.

Next time you bake a chocolate cake put cayenne pepper in the batter. Tastes amazing.
For Christmas my son got me a gift set of habanero pepper hot sauces and they're all really good:
Hot Sauce From Hell Devil's Revenge

Spontaneous Combustion
Ass Blaster

Came across this randomly at the grocery store:
It's basically a spicy mustard. Super delicious though.
