Ujjo is bringing a new spice to the beverage industry with its hot sauce, which is formulated to be used in drinks, specifically in coffee.

Using a mix of sweeteners and a blend of chili, the hot sauce is available in two varieties: dark roast, with tasting notes of cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla and molasses, and light roast, which has more “zing,” according to the company, with notes of citrus and ginger. It may be used to flavor coffee beverages like lattes and mochas, as a glaze for roasted vegetables, or as a topping on breakfast tacos or ice cream, according to the company.

Swamp Dragon manufactures and markets a range of bottled hot sauce formulated with bourbon, tequila, rum, vodka or ouzo instead of vinegar. The spirits add stability and flavor, minus the pungent, acidic notes of traditional varieties. The products pair well with tacos, cocktails, pizza, chicken and waffles, and chocolate chip cookies, according to the company.

Red Clay Hot Sauce was founded in 2018 and described by Food & Wine as “Tabasco for the 21st century.” The company markets a range of Southern-inspired pantry staples, sold in retail locations including Whole Foods Market, Publix, The Fresh Market, Target and more.

The launch also includes a hot habanero bacon jam, which will be a hotter version of its hot pepper bacon jam, according to the company. Also joining Terrapin Ridge’s hot sauce line will be a new truffle hot sauce.

Red Clay Hot Sauce unveiled its newest condiment, spicy peach conserve. Developed by co-founder and chef Geoff Rhyne, the product combines peaches and habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar, and it may be used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as biscuits, waffles, pork chops or stir fries, according to the company. 

“As our favorite ‘swicy’ (or sweet meets spicy) food trend continues to gain more and more fans, our mission at Red Clay remains the same: take classic, Southern flavor profiles and elevate them with Geoff’s chef-driven, spicy edge for everyone’s home kitchen,” said Molly Fienning, co-founder and chief executive officer, in a February 2022 interview. “This spicy peach conserve is a strong example of calling on Geoff’s roots to create something innovative and delicious for the pantry.”

In celebration of the 2022 holiday season, Frank’s RedHot launched its injector marinade, a spicy marinade that comes with a syringe injector.
