Paloma Hot Sauce| Grapefruit Habanero, Medium Heat

About this sauce

Inspired by the classic grapefruit cocktail that shares its name, Gindo's Paloma Hot Sauce is a sun-drenched explosion of tart grapefruit and fiery habanero. Built on a base of yellow and red bell peppers, this small-batch, limited-release sauce layers grapefruit juice, pineapple, orange, and agave nectar against the slow burn of real habanero peppers — finished with a splash of lime for brightness and balanced with Himalayan sea salt. The result is crisp citrus acidity up front, followed by a wave of tropical heat that lingers without overwhelming. It's bright, juicy, and built for warm-weather cooking — equally at home drizzled over grilled fish or shaken into your next brunch cocktail. Like every Gindo's release, Paloma is made in small batches in St. Charles, Illinois, so once it's gone, it's gone. It's not just hot sauce, it's Gindo's. TASTE Tart grapefruit and citrus lead the way, rounded out by sweet pineapple and orange, with a savory backbone from bell peppers and a bright lime finish. HEAT Medium Heat. Real habanero peppers deliver a steady, tropical warmth — noticeable but approachable, building gradually rather than hitting all at once. TRY WITH Grilled shrimp tacos Crispy pork carnitas Fresh mango salsa Grilled chicken skewers Roasted sweet potatoes Food Pairing Suggestions Paloma Hot Sauce shines on seafood and grilled proteins — try it on fish tacos, blackened shrimp, or grilled chicken. Stir a few dashes into mango or pineapple salsa for a citrus-forward kick, drizzle over roasted sweet potatoes, or use it to rim or spike a Paloma or margarita for a genuinely full-circle cocktail moment.
