Do Fear the Reaper Hot Sauce
$10.00
With enough heat to melt Outpost 31, this is the hottest of all bottles by Salem’s Lott Hot Sauces. Made with Carolina Reaper peppers with a kick of pineapple and lime, Do Fear the Reaper has a taste that’s initially sweet… until the heat comes on! If this one sound like too much to handle, milder options “Be Careful” or “Heat Stoke” might be more suited to your scorched taste buds.
