Don’t let the pretty color fool you. Depending on your heat tolerance, it can be extremely hot (it will be for most people). You’ll just need a touch to add to other sauces to give it the punch you desire. If you dare, try it on its own drizzled over grilled chicken or shrimp. A few drops would also be super in a Caesar cocktail. This Caribbean inspired hot sauce is so versatile, you’ll want to always have a jar handy in the refrigerator!
