The Last of the Burning Berries

Hot stuff is most tempting when it can throw hot and sweet together. The full-body pepper heat, coupled with just the right amount of berry sweetness, makes for an interesting and engaging flavor experience. For spice lovers who enjoy all things unique, scorpion pepper venom  is the perfect company for berry bomb hot sauce: This is a confrontational type of pairing starting with a kick and easing into a cool, tangy finish to tantalize your palate and bring you back for more.

Sweet and Spicy Hits the Max

The making of hot sauce, with great acceptance of heat versus sweetness, has progressed over time to where burning was once the most applicable. Today, flavor innovations oftentimes are turning these sauces into a diverse palette of flavors to engage the palate. The counterpoint between berries and pepper could be understood better along an artistic flavor dimension: between unwinding a wicked burn and a refreshing natural fruitiness where admiration lies.

If any flavor smashing would excite your palette, Scorpion Inferno was made for you. The scorpion pepper has a notorious reputation for its burning heat. Combined with Berry Blast, the contrast of flavors is intense yet surprisingly smooth.

Scorpion Inferno is mellow.

The scorpion pepper is not gentle by any means. These small but mighty peppers kick a serious fiery punch. At more than 1.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), it is definitely hot enough to burn you extra! Less stinging than the deadly Carolina Reaper, that is the scorpion; the warmth of this pepper goes through and comes back in one searing sting that feels like a burn, with the intensity and extensive linger that never seems to fade.

Of course, Scorpion Inferno has more than just high heat. The smoky aroma alongside a tinge of citrus adds to the hypertasting experience. If it's flavor and fire you want, this should deliver. Incorporated into hot pepper sauces, it gives a thermally disruptive burn with enough push to walk on the tangy fruit dimension alongside that berry acidity.

Berry Blast: Sweet Heat

If you've never tried a berry-hot sauce before, you're in for a bit of a treat. Berry Blast takes the inky flavors from whatever ripe berry lies at hand, blueberry, raspberry, or blackberry, and pairs that with a hit from hot chili peppers. The perfect contrasting addition to sweet and savory dishes is fruitful, colorful, and balanced. 

Scorpion Inferno layers a smack with heat and mildness through the terrific tartness of berries' natural flavor that cut through the Scorpion Inferno's intense heat. If you want to sample spice but not totally knock out your taste buds with it, scorpion works pretty darn well. A rather short burst of heat followed by the slight tang of sweetness, instead of something harsh that lingers. 

Some Ideas on How to Incorporate this Fiery Fusion With Your Cooking

That interplay between heat and sweetness can be exploited across the board, from meat to garden. Here are some fun ways to get scorpion venom and Berry Blast onto your palate:

  • Glazed Chicken Wings: Crisp chicken wings tossed in a mix of berry hot sauce and honey will provide that fire-and-sweet glaze.
  • Spicy BBQ Ribs: Brushed onto tender slow-cooked ribs for a sticky, tongue-suing finish.
  • Shrimp Skewers: This tropical combo of smoky heat and fruity sweetness is heaven when served with good seafood!
  • Berry-spiced Cocktails: Throw in some hot sauce with your margarita or sangria!
  • Drizzle over Ice Cream: Sounds crazy? Sweet-spicy drizzle over vanilla ice cream really works wonders.

The Sauce for Every Adventurous Spirit

This is a combo that needs to be experienced because of those of you who consider themselves adventurous eaters and get into the process of evaluating new and extreme flavors. The Scorpion Inferno takes away the heat while Berry Blast gives loads of fruity brightness. The experience is in itself separate-burn and berry exquisitely balanced-hence, holding you captive for another round. 

So wherever you decide to take that adventurous candy, with a zesty twist on a regular meal, or go wild on some fresh, sweet, and spicy escapades, this duo will bring in the adventure.
