Product description
ABOUT
Cherry Habanero Counterpunch is a fruit-forward hot sauce that combines tart cherry bite with smoky chipotle depth and real habanero heat.
It’s built to cut through rich foods and turn any meal into a bold, sweet-tart, smoky one-two combo.
KEY BENEFITS
Balances tart cherry brightness with habanero heat so it tastes complex, not sugary.
Chipotle adds smoky depth that pairs naturally with BBQ and grilled meats.
Great for glazes and marinades because the fruit-and-smoke profile clings to food.
Cuts through rich proteins like duck, pork, and game with a clean, tangy finish.
Medium heat level (5/10) delivers a noticeable kick without overwhelming the flavor.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Red habanero peppers — main heat and fruitiness.
Tart cherries — bright sweet-tart flavor.
Chipotle — smoky, roasted depth.
Carrot — body and natural sweetness.
Vinegar — tang and preservation.
Garlic — savory backbone.
Onion — rounded aromatics.
Lime — fresh lift and balance.
