Forty Shades – Jalapeño Hot Sauce with Tomatillo & Lime

Forty Shades is a fresh, vibrant Jalapeño Hot Sauce made for anyone who wants bold chilli flavour without overwhelming heat. Built around jalapeño chillies, tomatillos and lime, this bright green-style sauce delivers a clean, zesty character that works just as well as an everyday table sauce as it does in marinades, dips and dressings.

The recipe uses 12% jalapeño chillies, giving Forty Shades a recognisable green chilli flavour with a gentle kick rather than extreme heat. Tomatillos bring a naturally tangy, slightly fruity edge, while bell peppers and onions add body and balance. Spring onion adds freshness, ginger brings a subtle aromatic warmth, and 5% lime gives the sauce its lively citrus finish. White wine vinegar ties everything together with the acidity you expect from a good hot sauce, helping the flavours stay sharp, bright and incredibly versatile.

If you are searching for a jalapeño hot sauce, green chilli sauce, tomatillo hot sauce or a milder chilli sauce with plenty of character, Forty Shades is designed to earn a permanent place in the fridge. It has enough heat to wake up a dish without dominating it, making it especially useful for households where not everyone wants superhot chilli.

Pour it over tacos, burritos, nachos and quesadillas, spoon it onto burgers, wraps and sandwiches, or use it to add a fresh chilli lift to grilled chicken, fish and vegetables. It is also ideal stirred through mayonnaise, sour cream or yoghurt for an instant spicy dip, mixed into salad dressings, or added to marinades when you want acidity, chilli and citrus in one step.

Its simple flavour profile also makes Forty Shades easy to pair with food. Jalapeño, tomatillo and lime are a natural match for Mexican-inspired dishes, while the spring onion and ginger give it enough versatility to work across barbecue food, rice bowls, seafood and everyday lunches.

Produced by RADD Brands Ltd in Northern Ireland, Forty Shades comes in a 148ml bottle and is made for easy, everyday use. The label recommends using it to spice up meat, vegetables and more, which sums up its strength perfectly: this is a flexible hot sauce that brings freshness and flavour wherever you use it.

Fresh. Zesty. Green. Easy-going heat.

Forty Shades proves that hot sauce does not need to be brutally hot to be seriously useful. Keep it close at hand whenever breakfast, lunch, dinner or barbecue needs an instant flavour upgrade.
