I poured Melinda’s Mexicana Hot Sauce on everything from tacos to popcorn, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Fresh red peppers hit first with a bold chilli-forward punch, then the spices sneak in for a little dance on your tongue. Spice up burritos, sprinkled it on quesadillas, and yes you can even add it to cocktails — it works, shockingly well. Bright, zesty, and unapologetically lively, it’s the sort of sauce that makes you wonder why you ever settled for bland.
