To spice things up at your holiday party, why not pick up a few bottles of hot sauce across a wide range of styles and have your guests sample them with some hors d’oeuvres. A heated discussion is sure to ensue…

I recommend including a bottle of Queen Majesty’s Scotch Bonnet & Ginger Hot Sauce in the tasting. Not for the faint of heart, this sauce would also make a great holiday gift for anyone with a taste for things on the fiery side. I use it for enhancing crabmeat fried rice!

Also, pick up a 33 Drops of Hot Sauce notebook for each guest to keep track of tasting notes and ratings. Every entry has a “heat meter” and a flavor wheel to help you identify what you are tasting.
