Mild & Sassy Dry Rub: Sweet and Savory blend of fresh spices that will caramelize perfectly on any type of meat, fish, or poultry. It is not just for meats! Makes a great seasoning for stir fry, or grilled vegetables. Sprinkle over fresh popcorn for a quick and tasty snack.

Hot & Sassy Dry Rub: This Dry Rub has the same great flavors as the Mild, but we turned up the heat a bit. Sprinkle over some freshly made deviled eggs to add a little extra flavor. Use to make quick and easy Crock-pot Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Mix a couple tablespoon of rub in with a glass of Apple Juice and let your Pork Loin cook on low until done. Shred and use one of our Sassy Sauces as a final touch.

Mild & Sassy Barbeque Sauce: This delicious, sweet and flavorful sauce brings an explosion of flavor in your every bite. Whether it be for dipping your potatoes chips in, to topping a pulled pork sandwich, you won't be disappointed, Use on any type of meats to add a beautiful glaze finish.

Hot & Sassy Barbeque Sauce: The same sweet flavor of the Mild & Sassy, but has a little kick to it. Want to take your baked beans to another level, add some Hot & Sassy Sauce to your mix and then bake them to perfection! Use as a base for a Barbeque Chicken Pizza. It also makes a great dipping sauce.

Extra Hot & Sassy: This can be used for anything and everything, just know that it will take you on a heat wave. Gives a good amount of heat but still allows you to taste the delicious flavor of the sauce. Throw it on some BBQ Nachos, or put a spoonful on top of your baked potatoes.

VETERAN OWNED

Tropical: infused with mangos, pineapple, orange rose and lemon.
This is great in tea and on a honey glazed ham, it’s not hot, just makes you feel warm and comfy especially in winter when added to tea.

Spice: infused with cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
This is great in coffee, tea and on anything breakfast such as waffles, pancakes, biscuits and French toast (replace that syrup).

Jalapeno: infused with jalapeno peppers.
This is also the magical honey, when you taste it all you get is honey then the pepper and just when you think it will get hot it disappears no after taste no lingering. Milder than the pepper this is great on fish, chicken, biscuits, cheese crackers and ham.

Habanero: infused with habanero peppers.
When you taste it you will taste honey, when you swallow it you will get a burn in the back of the throat and it will linger for a little bit. Milder than the pepper this is great on fish, chicken, biscuits, cheese crackers and ham (some customers say they put it in hot coca for a Mexican hot chocolate).

Lavender: infused with real English lavender.
This is great in coffee, tea and yogurt.

Vanilla: infused with real Madagascar vanilla beans.
This is the most universal infusion you will ever taste. It goes great with foods and drinks – try it in fruit salad! What do you like with vanilla?
