Habanero Coconut IPA Beer Hot Sauce
Bold, spicy, and tropical hot sauce
As we hit colder temperatures, what better way to heat things up with some bold hot sauce.
Bring the tropical paradise to your next meal with this Habanero Coconut IPA Hot Sauce.
It will purge your taste buds into a wonderland of a perfect blend of spicy and sweet.
This sauce uses fresh oranges, sweetened coconut and spicy habaneros to balance the hoppy deliciousness of a West Coast IPA.
The shredded coconut balances the warmth of the red jalapeño and habanero peppers. And, the West Coast IPA enhances the blended flavors of the sauce.
The alcohol in the IPA actually burns up during the cooking process, so this hot sauce is safe for anyone who enjoys a good sauce.
According to our personal tasters, we rate the heat level of this beer as a 5 out of 10.
Make sure to use gloves to handle all peppers.
Please refrigerate your hot sauce.
