The Best Hot Sauce to Spice Up Your Life

Saveur names Marie Sharp's as "Best Mild Sauce: Marie Sharp’s Mild Habanero Sauce".  Hot sauce, like all condiments, holds the power to enhance a dish or the risk of totally overwhelming it.

The 18 Best Hot Sauces for Wings, Tacos and Everything in Between

Freshly pulped mango meets sharp fresh garlic, hand-chopped white onion and yellow habanero peppers to create a tropical hot sauce for the books. Fruit vinegar, fresh-squeezed Key lime juice and Belizean sea salt offer it unique, citrusy nuance. Sweet with a slight kick, Marie Sharp’s mango number is prime for seafood, salad dressings, tacos, cheese boards and Latin and Caribbean dishes across the board. We’re also betting it’s a killer addition to shrimp or chicken marinade, as well as salsa or guacamole.

The Best Hot Sauces from Around the World

Heading south to Mexico, the most popular hot sauces, poured on everything from tacos to mango slices, get thicker and lighter on the vinegar: Valentina is the go-to in many households, whereas love for Cholula stretches across the border. A real kick comes from habanero-based hot sauces like Chimay and El Yucateco's Green Habanero sauce—just a few drops of either punch up fish tacos. Where habanero really reigns supreme, though, is in Belize, where potent, vibrant blends of habanero and vegetables like carrots are the base of local icon Marie Sharp's many hot sauces. Picama's hot sauce, the most popular in Guatemala, is made with medium heat serrano peppers, with a thick, ketchup-like consistency—but Green Belly Hot Sauce, also made in Guatemala with habaneros instead, is a spicier local take.
