The invitingly green color of Smokin’ Ed’s latest hot sauce may send the wrong signal: this is no mild verde. From the diabolical mind of mad pepper scientist Smokin’ Ed Currie, this Pepper X and Apollo Pepper blend is not for the faint of heart. Taste-wise, it’s got everything you’d want in a verde: peppery and tart, high acid with a good hit of savory alliums. But you’ve been warned: using too much of this super-hot hot sauce could be enough to haunt even the toughest of chiliheads. That said, there’s no reason to shy away from making the attempt. We’d let the Pepper X and Apollo Pepper heat work its magic in a big batch of chili verde, white chicken chili or tortilla soup and expect delicious results!
