The Best Hot Sauces For Every Palate, Based On Our Taste Tests
|
With so many hot sauces out there and the stakes of experimenting (your tongue and digestive tract) with new ones so high, you're probably inclined to stick to your old reliable. But what if you could do better? Of course, finding "the best" hot sauce is a bit of a subjective exercise, so we spoke to some experts and assembled a panel of taste-testers to build a list that should cover all palates.

Best Hot Sauce Overall
|
Cholula Original Hot Sauce. While it's a Mexican-style hot sauce—that is, a smooth hot sauce made with a blend of pepper types that typically aren’t fermented—and thus especially shines on tacos or atop some chips and guac, it’s also versatile enough to work on eggs, rice or even soups and marinades.

Best Extra-Spicy Hot Sauce
|
Adoboloco Kolohe Kid. Ghost peppers and Hawaiian chili peppers come together to create a fiery hot sauce with a flavor profile that’s much more dimensional than most other vinegar-based options. It tastes like a spicier, more complex and slightly smoky Tabasco sauce.

Best Sriracha Hot Sauce
|
Huy Fong Foods Inc. Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce. It’s mild enough to be revered by the heat-averse, garlicky enough to punch up the blandest of dishes, and its giant bottle is priced affordably. Drizzle it atop fried rice, roasted veggies, burgers and just about anything else—use it to make a honey glaze for wings, or mix it with mayo for a spicy aioli.

Best Sweet Hot Sauce
|
Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. Pineapple Habanero. This one has a bright, sweet (but not too cloying) heat that’s unique, perhaps because its ingredients include ale. Its consistency is smooth and medium-bodied. With a medium heat level, it’s a hot sauce that will win over those who like it spicy—without leaving a lingering burn.
