The Best Hot Sauce Gifts For Yourself Or Your Spicy Friends

Among friends and family, I've been compared to the grandma from the Frank's Hot Sauce commercials because like this iconic lady, I put that sh*t on everything. From pasta to grilled salmon, tacos to hearty vegetable soup, for me, *any* savory dish can be instantly improved with a little (or a lot) of sawce. Plus, like fellow Virgo Beyoncé, I have been known to keep hot sauce in my bag in the event that a restaurant doesn't have any. (Which is a thing that has tragically happened to me.)

While the classics are classics for a reason, we are in what will go down in history as a golden age of artisanal hot sauces: From hip Brooklyn boutiques offering a vast array of flavors to elevated ones you can readily find on Amazon Prime, get ready for my literal hot take on the best, most giftable hot sauces you can shop now.
