Cotton Candy Foxy Sour Hot Sauce
Gindo's x Fox Republic Brewing Collaboration
(Medium Heat, Limited Release)
Some collaborations you taste before you can even explain them. That's Cotton Candy Foxy Sour — the limited-release hot sauce Gindo's crafted alongside our friends at Fox Republic Brewing Company (Yorkville, IL), built right around their Cotton Candy Sour Beer.
We took that beer's bright, tart sweetness and layered in a full lineup of tropical fruit — pineapple, mango, passion fruit, dragon fruit, strawberries, and blueberries — then let it collide with Bubblegum Reaper pepper for a heat that creeps in slow and lingers long after the sweetness fades. A touch of honey and agave rounds out the finish, while ahi lemon pepper adds a citrusy snap that keeps every drop lively.
This is a small-batch, one-time-only run — when it's gone, it's gone. Shake well before pouring, and get ready for a sauce that's as fun to talk about as it is to eat.
TASTE: Bright tropical fruit and cotton candy sweetness up front — pineapple, mango, and passion fruit lead the charge, with a tart, sour-beer twist and a citrusy lemon pepper snap on the back end.
HEAT: Medium — bubblegum reaper pepper brings a bold, creeping warmth that builds gradually rather than hitting all at once. Approachable for spice lovers, with real staying power.
TRY WITH:
- Grilled shrimp tacos
- Pulled pork sliders
- Rice bowls
- Chicken wings
- Brie and crackers
