As some of you know, Sweat ‘N Spice Hot Sauces features a Hot Sauce of the Month Club. Following the Christmas season, the number of club members has nearly grown by 5x! In the past, the Sweat ‘N Spice staff has picked 1 sauce to feature each month and we’ve ordered just a few extra cases. Now, with the huge increase in members we have to order 15-20 cases of the sauce of the month.
Realizing that an order of this size is hard for some small manufacturers to supply but also realizing that an order of this size can really help spread the word about a lesser known sauce - we’ve decided to leave the sauce of the month nominations up to the HSB readers from now on. Early each month we will start the nominations for the following month.
Guidelines:
- The sauce must not have already been a Hot Sauce of the Month featured sauce (within 12 months)
- We try to emphasize flavor over fire
- The chosen manufacturer must be able to supply 15 or more cases
- Does not have to be a sauce already carried on SNS (we’ll add it to our product line)
- The chosen sauce does not have to be a “hot sauce” but must be able to be used in hot sauce like applications
- The retail price of the bottle cannot be more then $10
Previous Hot Sauces of the Month
(in alphabetical order)
- Big Dawg Habanero Lime Hot Sauce (new: March ‘07)
- Cackalacky Spice Sauce
- Cry Baby Hot Sauce
- Fatalii Fire Hot Sauce
- Frostbite Hot Sauce
- Green Bandit Basil Serrano Hot Sauce
- Kiss of Fire Hot Sauce
- Krakatoa Hot Sauce
- Loco Luna Lava EXTREME Hot Sauce
- Make Me Moan Mango Hot Sauce
- Tabanero Hot Sauce
- Talon Hot Sauce
- Toxic Tonic Hot Sauce
- Well, Smack My Ass and Call Me Santa
How to Nominate:
Simply leave a comment with the sauce you’ve chosen to nominate for the Sauce of the Month and explain why. Only 2 nominations per person and you can nominate a sauce that’s already been nominated by another reader. Manufacturers, you can nominate yourself as well.
The sauce of the month will be chosen 1 week after nominations begin and those readers that have nominated the chosen sauce will get 1 free case (unless you’re the manufacturer of course). And each Hot Sauce of the Month will be discounted for all HSB readers for that month.
So what sauce would you like to nominate?

My other choice is Candy’s Private Reserve-Kickin Hot Apple Suprise.
I’m not a big fan of pork but this stuff changed my mind. Try a pork roast just basted to death in this. You will be in LOVE!! It also gives chicken a whole different meaning-This stuff ROCKS!!!!
EZ Earl’s Hot Stuff (Sauce)
Defcon 2
NOT TECHNICALLY SAUCE BUT…
JIM CAMPBELL’S RED SAVINA MASH
REASON - ITS LIKE MORHINE. HURTS A LITTLE BUT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK.
DEFCON 1 - EXTRA HEAT W/ SOME COMPLIMENTARY EXTRACT DROPS ADDED.
A NICE SOLID SWEAT FOR A GOOD LENGTH OF TIME.
Seeing it was not on the original list, I must put in a word for Hula Girl Chipotle Habanero Hot Sauce. Great sauce with great people behind them. Jill is another world-class good person, of which there are so many in this group.
And Nick, because they live on The Big Island, you can fly out there, pick up the cases (which would take several days, at least), and deduct it on your tax return as a business trip. Just make sure you pick up a bunch of their home made cookies as well!
Mild to Wild Fiery Hot Habanero Sauce, 16 oz
why: Because it is one of my favorite sauces, its BBQ’ish, and its a full on 16 oz, taste excellent on steak, burgers, chicken, and anything else BBQ sauce ussually implores.
Thanks ATK, I agree. I would also suggest our Red Savina DITD , it is our favorite, and is featured this month in the article.

that is one of those i have been putting off to long to buy.
i will place my order very soon. the nme even sounds delicious.
Candys Kickin hot apple
ooooh I love it!
as a meal or dessert
gets MY vote
yummy
I’d like to recommend Tabasco Chipotle.
Nah - just figured I’d give a few of you apoplectic fits.
I do LOVE chipotle flavor so would nominate Golden Toad Chipotle Pepper Sauce.
Why? I don’t see that a chipotle sauce has been featured yet.
Okay, I’ll be honest and disclose I’ve never tried said product but really want to. And what better way to do so than to win a whole freakin’ case?!!
Yucateco-Green
This sauce wont be more than a couple bucks at a supermarket but it has a $50 taste.
Amazing.
Hot as hell too.
There are two fine habanero hot sauces that many of you may not have had the opportunity to sample just yet. Of course I would like to nominate these 2 sauces…
Csigi Chili Sauce Capsaicin Carnivale
Csigi Chili Sauce Salubrious Savina
Day 1 of the Fiery Foods Show was great! Only 2 more hectic days follow! -Lars-
Loco Luna Lava Hot - b/c everyone should experience a great hot sauce that works on anything, and so good you could drink out of the bottle!
Nando’s Peri Peri Hot - More credit needed for such a good pepper, brings fantastic flavour especially to chicken
We would love to let everyone taste The SalsaKing Fine SouthWestern Foods wonderful Chipotle Hot Sauce - Big Cajones Chipotle as well as our Butt Burnin’ Habanero Hot Sauce. Both Mighty fine hot sauces.
Thanks
2nd nomination: Yucateco Mayan because its got a fruityish appeal, but its a hardcore mexican styled hotsauce love it!
a lot of my choices have been featured, would like to throw in a few more.
Redd Eye - 3 Skull Habanero - Great sauce, even greater people!
Danny Cash - Mean Streak Habanero Mango - Like it because Its different but kept basic
BRET EAT SHIT AND BARK AT THE MOON CHIPOTLE SAUCE, Oh well it’s not bad. LOL
How about Scotty B’s Berries in Heat,
winner of two 2007 Golden Chile Awards. Its a unique sauce with medium heat thats great on chicken and pork and Daniel likes to drink it from the bottle HA!
Voting for myself, I’d have to say Danny Cash’s Ragin Red - milder, but who else has a Louisiana Cajun hot sauce that you can’t even tell has vinegar in it??? That sauce took the most versions to get just right - mild sauces are harder than hot ones because of the delicate balance. Word.

Sauce of the month…hah…I would chose The Art of Chipotle for sauce of the year! Out of the many sauces and salsas I’ve tried, none taste as unique and flavorful as The Art of Chipotle’s. They have definitly made it their passion to create the most distinct chipotle products on the market today…they should since chipotle is what they do! What I especially enjoy about the products are that they’re all-natural, gluten free, and very nutritionally clean. I always watch out for products that have too much sodium, sugar, and fats….but not to worry about that with these great chipotle products. If you meet the pepperheads, or the four pepper faces on the label, you’ll realize that it’s the Pfleider family. What an interesting story they have about how they got into the food business and started this chipotle craze. The Art of Chipotle is definitly my favorite by far…flavor before heat!!!

Thats true (speaking of which, i still need to order), but what would you do with a free case of your own sauce? Go for my pick!

Jackson’s Original Death In The Desert. I had never tried it until recently and I have to say that it is just Damn Good Sauce! When cooking I try to flavor foods as the cook and this sauce works. Try making some steak tacos and cook the steak right in the sauce-you will be impressed. Loco Luna Lava Extreme is another awesome sauce but that one has been done. The DITD is also an awesome marinade!!!
