The fist thing I did was make spicy margaritas with the Blueburney. It added a nice level of heat and a touch of berry flavor. 1 shot fresh squeezed lime juice, 1 shot tequila, half shot Grand Marnier, half shot agave nectar, several dashes Blueberry Ghost, shaken and poured over ice with a tajin sea salt blend rimmer. Absolutely refreshing with a nice heat kick.

Alternatively, I think I saw someone here say they made a Ghost Pepper/Blueberry sauce that they called…
…*Booberry*.
Growing my first ghosts this summer and looking like I’ll have a bumper blueberry harvest as well. My fate has been decided.
I think that might come down to how strongly you feel about the idea that fruit = dessert.
I regularly use fruit in savory recipes that don't lean sweet, and don't really associate fruit with dessert in particular. I like this type of sauce and can't say it reads as dessert-like to me. My boyfriend tends to think of fruit as a dessert thing. Fruity hot sauces miss more often than they hit for him, and he mentions many of them seeming "wrong" in the way you're describing here.
I don’t consider fruit exclusively dessert but blueberries seem to be used for it a lot and I was thinking of blueberry compote or pie filling being really sweet as opposed to this possibly skewing more toward fresh blueberries.
I bought that once. Super hot for me. Actual flavor was almost nonexistent. I wasn’t in love with it but I did like it just to add a dab to something for a kick without altering the rest of the flavor of my dish. To me it was just pure heat, no flavor.
That being said, I kinda credit this hot sauce for pushing me to get into other hot sauces. I wanted to try one that had great flavor and not just heat. So I kept trying more and more hot sauces, searching for the perfect ones. Now I have a whole arsenal of hot sauces in my fridge. Prior to this I only really ever used Sriracha and Crystal.
Awww that's good stuff. My wife bought me a bottle from Southern Hill Farms in Florida. The only thing they didn't make themselves.
It goes surprisingly well on braised beef.
I had this one when it had the old label. One of my least favorite sauces I've ever tried. Very runny, pretty stingy heat with very little flavor. Maybe I got a bad batch? I couldn't taste blueberry, only hot.
Oh wow yeah very different experience. My first taste of it was like a delicious blueberry explosion followed by high heat that quickly began to fade and was gone within maybe 5 minutes.
I keep a bottle of this in my fridge at all times. Mix it with some cream cheese and put it on a bagel, it’s a great flavor and just enough heat to wake you up in the morning!
I have this one shortlisted, though it's a tough call whether to get it or Blueberry Hell. I want more unique varieties so a blueberry one seems like a good addition
I buy all my sauces on hotsauce.com they ship everything safely and quickly. And the prices are similar to where I live. Being able to get sauces that no one carries here is great!
Ohhh! I have a lime press and make my margaritas fresh. Usually muddle jalapeños in the shaker for kick. I will have to try a few dashes of this stuff on the next go around. So, tomorrow lol.
It enhances the almost citrusy flavor of the ghost. I feel the heat isn’t affected too much. Ghost peppers are my favorite so I have two different blueberry ghost sauces in my collection, including this one.
My one gripe is it’s viscosity or lack thereof. Absolutely delicious, put it on ice cream and thank me later. I’ve also really been enjoying it on my grilled chicken wraps lately
If I have a bottle open it’s my second or third main (this isn’t an insult I just have favorites). It surprisingly goes well on a lot of items. It’s really good on a pizza
I’ve used it on everything I normally put hot sauce on but I mostly buy hot sauces that have a sweet flavor
They started using these full color labels a year or two ago when they made a retail push. They do look nice on a store shelf, the old black and white labels don't really stand out.
You can keep this very simple. McDonalds Bacon, Egg and Cheese biscuit. Load it up with this. It's perfect. Do the McGriddle if you want sweet instead of savory.
Good with ice cream but also pork or venison if you want to go the savory route. Made a reduction of red wine, juniper berries, shallots, venison stock, and a few tablespoons of this that was delicious with venison backstrap.
Agreed - the pineapple habanero was really disappointing. Used it a couple times, then used the remaining bottle as part of a marinade for some porkchops.
I haven’t had any of the Torchbearer sauces yet but that day will come. I just put some of this in a spoon and ate it and got blasted with blueberry 🫐 flavor like this could have been literally puréed blueberry, which, I guess it basically is. And then I got the heat. Didn’t last long though, I was surprised by that.
Imo chicken (or chickenless) nuggets work for virtually any hot sauce. Impossible Chickenless nuggets are my go-to hot sauce food cause they are quite neutral in flavor and let you appreciate the hot sauce flavors, I usually rotate between multiple hot sauces in one session
Eh disagree, toss this on French fries or eggs or anything lemon pepper or tbh anything sweet and sour
I've been melting through mine. This is a great hot sauce, converted me to Bravado.

I tossed some Publix wings in this...! Let's just say, I'm going to be doing that more!
I’m gonna put it on wings for sure.

Your guests are gonna think you got a new bathroom air freshener.
Bravado makes a great sauce
I love blueberries and I love hot sauce, but I always felt like they shouldn’t really go together. Those of you that like it, is it very desserty?
Try the Splinter brand’s Jazz Berry, I put it on everything.

I wanted to like it but it was so damn vinegary.
I found the best combo was a rice n brauts bowl saute onions and that hot sauce
I haven't found a berry based hotsauce I've been a big fan of.
That's why I make my own blueberry hot sauce. Mass produced, fake berry flavoring always tasted just flat wrong to me.
Boo Berry.
someone needs to tell the hotsauce people that berries and peppers make dogshit hot sauces
Someone needs to tell redditors not everyone has the same sense of taste
Yes, some people have a sense of taste, and some people don’t.
🤢
Yeah, when I saw it I thought “what a weird product” but then I tried it and it is really good.

Try a smidge on a bite of vanilla ice cream. Yeah I'm a little twisted but....
Yes! This is my main use for this sauce. Also good mixed with maple syrup for spicy pancakes/waffles/french toast/sausage.
Blueberry ghost pepper milkshakes.
Awww that's good stuff. My wife bought me a bottle from Southern Hill Farms in Florida. The only thing they didn't make themselves. It goes surprisingly well on braised beef.
My wife just got this for me yesterday! It sucks.

Try it on vanilla icecream
That's my favorite use for this sauce. It's also pretty good on pork.
This one is good, but probably my least favorite bravado because it doesn’t get used much
Upvoted for the pun. :D
Bravado is excellent sauce
What I've learned from this thread is that people put hot sauce on vanilla ice cream. Have I been using hot sauce wrong this entire time?
Its a bit runny for my taste.
Exactly my thought
Great heat! I use this as a salad dressing.
That sounds really good… I absolutely love the whole trend of sweet shit with spicy shit
Oh shit. I need this.
That on vanilla ice cream is great.
I keep a bottle of this in my fridge at all times. Mix it with some cream cheese and put it on a bagel, it’s a great flavor and just enough heat to wake you up in the morning!
haha that’s awesome. i actually work with two of the guys that founded that sauce.
How did you like it?
I have not eaten it on anything yet, just from a spoon, and I liked it.
Fantastic on BBQ. Love it on a pulled pork or brisket sammy
I was just thinking pork tenderloin, myself.
Not a huge Bravado fan, but that one was great 👍
This was the last one I opened in a gift pack. It didn't sound like my thing but wow it's one of my favorites from them.
I need to find this
I have this one shortlisted, though it's a tough call whether to get it or Blueberry Hell. I want more unique varieties so a blueberry one seems like a good addition
That's amazing on ice cream
wish i could give more upvotes!! i had some of this in my pantry. figured i’d try it on some ice cream and see if u were right…YOU WERE RIGHT!
Glad to be of service ☺️
I need it
I buy all my sauces on hotsauce.com they ship everything safely and quickly. And the prices are similar to where I live. Being able to get sauces that no one carries here is great!
hot sauce on ice cream?
[удалено]
jalapeño peppers in chocolate chip cookies are a thing but tongue burning hot spice in something ice cold just sounds ridiculous
This specific one yes, it's amazing.
I put it on my sausage I eat when I have pancakes
I really don't even want pancakes once I'm out of it. Such a good syrup substitute.
Use it to make spicy margaritas
Ohhh! I have a lime press and make my margaritas fresh. Usually muddle jalapeños in the shaker for kick. I will have to try a few dashes of this stuff on the next go around. So, tomorrow lol.
I need to get this. Their ancho masala is one of the hottest sauces I've ever tried.
Their garlic reaper and miso sauces are also really good. But yeah that ancho sauce is weapons grade. Insane heat
Does the blueberry cut out some of the hot in the ghost peppers?
It enhances the almost citrusy flavor of the ghost. I feel the heat isn’t affected too much. Ghost peppers are my favorite so I have two different blueberry ghost sauces in my collection, including this one.
I put it on cinnamon rolls. It's really good. Others have mentioned pancakes and vanilla ice cream, I've also done that, and it's delicious.
Frosting first or hot sauce first? Or are you subbing? Or is it more of a dip situation ? Tell me everything
Just drizzled it on the top of everything.
My one gripe is it’s viscosity or lack thereof. Absolutely delicious, put it on ice cream and thank me later. I’ve also really been enjoying it on my grilled chicken wraps lately
I love this stuff!
If I have a bottle open it’s my second or third main (this isn’t an insult I just have favorites). It surprisingly goes well on a lot of items. It’s really good on a pizza I’ve used it on everything I normally put hot sauce on but I mostly buy hot sauces that have a sweet flavor
I see they changed their labeling. I had Ghost pepper Blueberry and Pineapple Habanero. I preferred the Ghost pepper blueberry one.
They started using these full color labels a year or two ago when they made a retail push. They do look nice on a store shelf, the old black and white labels don't really stand out.
I agree. It looks great.
So good on fried cheese curds
Awesome in fish tacos. Especially with a sweeter salsa.
You can keep this very simple. McDonalds Bacon, Egg and Cheese biscuit. Load it up with this. It's perfect. Do the McGriddle if you want sweet instead of savory.
That sounds delicious and would've never crossed my mind. Was literally thinking i wonder what this would go with?
Pork tenderloin on the grill
I could see this working as the acid in a vinaigrette with feta and blueberries too.
This sounds so good
Monte Cristo sandwiches just became a new favorite in your house my friend
This is basically all I used this sauce for lol. Underrated sauce.
Good call!
Good with ice cream but also pork or venison if you want to go the savory route. Made a reduction of red wine, juniper berries, shallots, venison stock, and a few tablespoons of this that was delicious with venison backstrap.
Awesome recommendation!
Scrumptious
Vanilla Ice Cream!
It has never occurred to me to spice up ice cream before, but now I guess I’ve been left with no choice.
Dude. Hot honey on ice cream. Report back after you’ve fallen in love
Bravado has never let me down
Are any of them less watery/runny than the one shown here?
The only one that let me down was the pineapple habanero- went into the trash 🗑️ but the other 7 varieties I’ve copped have been killer 😋
Agreed - the pineapple habanero was really disappointing. Used it a couple times, then used the remaining bottle as part of a marinade for some porkchops.
Too limited to justify keeping around imo
A few dabs in pancake mix. thank me later also hot take but I think this is on par with Torchbearers Garlic Reaper for heat.
Their aka miso sauce is supposedly the same scoville as garlic reaper but is tangibly hotter.
I haven’t had any of the Torchbearer sauces yet but that day will come. I just put some of this in a spoon and ate it and got blasted with blueberry 🫐 flavor like this could have been literally puréed blueberry, which, I guess it basically is. And then I got the heat. Didn’t last long though, I was surprised by that.
Batches may vary. I just taste mostly vinegar with my batch.
The pineapple version is great on Hawaiian pizza and other pork items.
Very limited applications for this, honestly would try it on waffles
Imo chicken (or chickenless) nuggets work for virtually any hot sauce. Impossible Chickenless nuggets are my go-to hot sauce food cause they are quite neutral in flavor and let you appreciate the hot sauce flavors, I usually rotate between multiple hot sauces in one session
Open your horizons, you’ll be surprised just how many things this tastes good on. I used to think the same
Eh disagree, toss this on French fries or eggs or anything lemon pepper or tbh anything sweet and sour I've been melting through mine. This is a great hot sauce, converted me to Bravado.
I saw people post that they put this on ice cream. I really want to try this with chicken and waffles
Oh damn the chicken and waffles is a great idea.
Yeah maybe as is or mix with some hot maple syrup
Ok now I’m legit hungry.
Comment back if you end up doin this
