Texas Butter jalapeno hot sauces are true originals. These gourmet, small batch sauces don't quite fit the typical hot sauce molds. They're thick, versatile and bursting with flavors that go way beyond traditional pepper and vinegar blends.

After being blown away by Texas Butter's Mango Jalapeno Hot Sauce, I couldn't wait to crack the seal on another Texas Butter product. In need of a spicy compliment for a plate of nachos, I reached for Texas Butter's Smoked Jalapeno Hot Sauce.

Like "Mango", "Smoked" packed an insane amount of flavor. Rather than accenting the intense jalapeno flavor with fresh citrus tang, this variety of Texas Butter brings natural mesquite smoke to the party. The flavors were a perfect balance of fresh, smokey and spicy profiles.

Texas Butter Smoked Jalapeno Hot Sauce was fantastic on the nachos. The smokey sauce really brings a unique added dimension to Tex-Mex favorites. It's a great way to incorporate a smokey element to a variety of dishes.

Texas Butter is so unique in that their flavors are incredibly bold and complex, yet still very smooth. They're so versatile and compliment nearly everything. The sauces work great as marinades, grilling sauces or condiments. Simply put, Texas Butter jalapeno hot sauces are the tastiest pepper sauces that I've sampled to date.

At $8.75 for an 8 oz. plastic flask, Texas Butter sauces are a little spendy. However, if you've got the dough, it's money well spent. You can order your own directly from their website. See how Texas Butter Smoked Jalapeno Hot Sauce rates on our "Product Reviews" page.
