About

Hot sauce, chili sauce, or hot pepper sauce refer to any spicy sauce made from chili peppers and other ingredients.

There are many recipes for chili sauces - the common ingredient being chili peppers. A group of chemicals called capsaicinoids are responsible for the heat in chile peppers.

The peppers are infused in anything from vinegar, oil, water, beer and alcohol to fruits and vegetable pulp. Additional ingredients are often used, including those used to add extra heat, such as pure capsaicin extract and mustards.

Tabasco

Each 2-ounce bottle of Tabasco Sauce contains at least 720 drops.   (There are 60 drops per teaspoon; 3 teaspoons per tablespoon; 2 tablespoons per fluid ounce and 2 fluid ounces per bottle).   If you're shaking on Tabasco Sauce instead of measuring it drop by drop-you're on your own.   The number of drops in a "splash" or a "dash" of Tabasco Sauce depends entirely upon how hard you shake the bottle!   So, to have a "hot 'n spicy 'n flavorful" experience, limber up those wrists and go for it. 

Tabasco Sauce is made with tabasco peppers are generally hotter than cayenne pepper sauces. Along with Tabasco, a number of "extra hot" sauces are made using a combination of tabasco and cayenne or other chili peppers.
