HOT SAUCE
For people who use half a bottle of Cholula on a breakfast burrito and think... I could do better.
The Sauces
Two sauces. One on purpose, one by accident.
Hades Original
The Everyday One
Habaneros and carrots. That's the base. The carrots give it that golden color and a little sweetness before the heat shows up. Goes on everything. Designed for people who think most hot sauces are just spicy vinegar.

The Happy Accident
Sometimes too many bhut orange Copenhagen peppers end up in a batch. That's a ghost pepper variant, for the uninitiated. When that happens, it gets its own label. Not on purpose. Just how it goes.
“Every bottle hand-labeled. Every batch slightly different. Consistency is for factories.”
The Process
Grow peppers. Make sauce. Give it away. It's not complicated.
Grow the Peppers
Habaneros and bhut orange Copenhagen (BOC) ghost peppers, grown from seed in Boston. Yes, personally. It's a whole thing.
Make the Sauce
Peppers get blended with a carrot base — that's the secret to the color and the flavor. Everything by hand, in small batches, in a regular kitchen.
Bottle It Up
Bottled, hand-labeled, and given away. No warehouse. No fulfillment center. Just a guy with a funnel and some free time.
How to Get Some
There's no buy button.
How to get some: know a guy.
This isn't a business. It's a hobby that got out of hand. Every bottle goes to friends, family, or CloudZero customers. That's the whole distribution strategy.
(Seriously though, you can't buy it. We've been asked.)
