This Heartbeat Scorpion Hot Sauce is the hottest and newest sauce of Canada's most popular hot sauce brand. They used 3 peppers to make it their spiciest ever: Habaneros, Chipotle and ofcourse the Trinidad Scorpion. This creates a flavor in which the peppers take center stage. The beets give it a sweet touch at the very beginning, but that disappears quickly to make room for the heat of the peppers, the smokyness of the Chipotle and the tartness of the vinegar. Another great sauce from Heartbeat that goes well with just about anything that can use some extra heat!

Pairs well with meats such as steak, chicken and pork, but also with mean sandwiches such as this 'Spicy Meatball Marinara Sub'.
