Five became eight. Bad Decision Hot Sauce has three new sauces: Sweet Regret (peach, Mild), Bad Call (datil, Medium) and Wrong Choice (mango Scotch bonnet, Hot). All three are 5 FL OZ bottles at $12, available now online and on our table at the Saturday market.
In short: Sweet Regret is a mild peach hot sauce made with real peaches, jalapeño and cayenne. Bad Call is a sweet, tomato-based St. Augustine-style datil pepper sauce rated Medium; it contains fish (anchovy). Wrong Choice is a hot mango Scotch bonnet sauce with mango as its first ingredient. Each is $12, recipes developed in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and bottled in Jacksonville.
Why three more
The original five run in a straight line from garlic to ghost pepper. What the lineup did not have was sweet heat — fruit up front, peppers behind it — and it did not have a sauce built on a Florida pepper. The three new bottles fill both gaps, and they slot into the heat scale rather than stacking on top of it.
The new lineup, mildest to hottest
- First Mistake — garlic. Mild.
- Sweet Regret — peach. Mild. New.
- Took The Bet — jalapeño. Medium.
- Bad Call — datil. Medium. New.
- No Turning Back — habanero. Hot.
- Wrong Choice — mango Scotch bonnet. Hot. New.
- Crossed The Line — smoked chipotle. Very Hot.
- Ignored The Warning — ghost jolokia. Extreme.
Sweet Regret — peach, Mild
Real peaches and cane sugar up front, with red chili, green jalapeño, cayenne and a touch of capsicum oil behind them. Vidalia onions and a little tomato keep it savory rather than jammy. It is the easiest bottle in the lineup to over-pour, which is where the name comes from. Best as a glaze: brush it on pork chops or chicken thighs in the last few minutes on the grill. More on Sweet Regret and peach hot sauce.
Bad Call — datil, Medium
The datil pepper is grown almost entirely around St. Augustine, Florida. Bad Call is made the way St. Augustine likes its datil sauce: tomato-based and sweet, with honey, molasses and cane sugar, a savory Worcestershire backbone, and datil heat right behind the sweetness. It sits between a hot sauce and a glaze — excellent on shrimp and fried fish. It contains fish (anchovy, from the Worcestershire) and sulfiting agents. More on Bad Call and the datil pepper.
Wrong Choice — mango Scotch bonnet, Hot
Mango is the first ingredient, and it tastes like it. Behind it sits red Scotch bonnet, the pepper behind Caribbean jerk: fruity, a little floral and seriously hot. A little cane sugar, garlic and onion round it out. It looks like the friendliest bottle on the table, and it is not. More on Wrong Choice and Scotch bonnet heat.
