Big news for travelers passing through .sunport !

I have partnered up with the fine folks at Mountain Standard Time, a local store beyond TSA Security screening!

Ive been waiting for an opportunity like this for some time, and proud to launch with a shop carrying locally made, New Mexico products.

Whether you need a last minute gift, a bottle of award winning sauce for the plane ride across the globe, or something to remind you of home, stop by in the Albuquerque Sunport for all your locally made NM products.

Thanks for all your support!

Picked up a hitchhiker today. Said he was "dying to try Apicklelypse hot sauces."

Getting out of town one last time before the spring/summer markets start. Will be back on Monday to lock in and get ready to release a new line of Apicklelypse products!

This year I am happy to announce Apicklelypse will be a vendor at both Downtown Growers' Market and Rail Yards Market ! Still dialing in the exact dates a bit, but I can say that I will be in Albuquerque at least once every weekend from April to November. Alternating weekends between the markets gives both vending opportunities my best customer service possible.

Looking forward to a fantastic year of events, meeting new people, and bringing the best damn hot sauce to your shopping bags!

Thanks for your support and see you in a just over a week.

Forgot to prep something tasty for dinner before leaving the house for the day?

A simple and quick fix to spice up that plain old chicken, or protein of your choosing!

About 2 to 5 minutes before you're ready to pull from the grill, toss your chicken/protein in a bowl with your new favorite wing sauce - Drop Zone.

Coat generously, mix well, and throw back over the flame for a few more minutes until desired crisp or charr.

Drop Zone brings some heat, some sweet, and a zing that'll make you remember why you love that open flame and Apicklelypse hot sauces.

Fresh flavors from healthy ingredients means everyone can enjoy. Whether you're on a diet, or looking to eat as much as you could possibly want, enjoy this hot sauce, guilt free. Its what brings the real heat to the table.

This week's grill prep:
Grilled salmon & Drop Zone chicken thighs with balsamic zucchini spears. Clean food keeps the stoke high.

This is how Drop Zone gets its texture.

Emulsification of the liquids and solids. Using two (or more if you have them) high-speed Vitamix blenders allows me to process 17.5 gallons of sauce in just under 30 mins. An immersion stick blender is then used in the kettle to get a final mix before pasteurization.

I love the appearance, texture, aroma, and flavor of this sauce. Its creamy and almost buttery. Light on the palate, and massive on the tastebuds.

A bit of emulsification goes a long way. Mixing the olive oil, vinegars, agave, and water make for a great platform to deliver big flavor.

Hey , I see you, Homies.
The hot sauce industry is a great community of like-minded people, who share common interests and goals. To make damn good products. Stepping outside the box - following industry standards - to make art in new ways.

Keep it interesting, keep it fun, make it spicy, and enjoy the ride.
