Hi everyone!  Matt here. I need to tell you all what’s up with Swamp Dragon and me. Once I verified in 2016 that the concept of liquor hot sauce was safe and had never been done, I decided I needed to start a company. I did so based on the strength of the concept alone, not because I had lots...

Here's a great one in time for Halloween or Thanksgiving, from Matt's personal test kitchen! Pumpkin soup improved with Swamp Dragon Dark Rum Hot Sauce!

Whether you’re watching collegiate or professional football this Fall, you’ll need delicious snacks, drinks, and meals to enjoy with the games. So why not bump the flavor and spice with a little (or a lot) of Swamp Dragon liquor hot sauce!

This right here is part of the reason Swamp Dragon exists. When you go to this level of work to make gumbo that's as much art as food... well... you just do not put vinegar in it! NO!   The problem with writing this recipe is that I don’t work from a recipe. The best I can do is to...

They might still fall in love with Marvin the Dragon because he's so danged cute, but if they really need vinegar in their hot sauces, they'll have to move along. I love hot. I love spice.

I sent a few 2 ounce sample bottles of Swamp Dragon hot sauce to a chef and culinarian in Denver. She dove right in and used it in dishes for an event! I wish I could have been there. It looks amazing! She made seared scallops served with fresh corn maque choux, the maque choux made with bacon, onion, green...

I went straight to a Latin restaurant shortly after inventing the world's first truly liquor hot sauce. I've seen "liquor infused," or "liquor flavored" sauces, but the preservative is always acid (vinegar usually,) and the liquor seems to be an afterthought for marketing purposes. But Swamp Dragon is different. It was styled after the major brands that use no more...
