Bold flavor comes from real ingredients, and nothing proves it better than Sugar Bob’s Maple Sriracha Trio. Handcrafted in Vermont, these small-batch sauces combine the sweetness of pure maple syrup with the fire of fresh chili peppers. The result? Three unique hot sauces that bring sweet heat and smoky depth to everything from breakfast to BBQ.
In this guide, you’ll discover the origin story, the flavor profiles of each sauce, and the best ways to use them in your kitchen.
The Origin Story: Where Heat Meets Sweet
It all started with a simple idea: What if we blended real Vermont maple syrup with chili peppers, garlic, and apple cider vinegar?
The answer became Vermont Maple Sriracha — a tangy, mildly spicy, preservative-free sauce made with Fresno chili peppers and pure Vermont maple syrup. Its balance of sweet, savory, and spicy quickly made it a fan favorite.
Building on that success, Sugar Bob’s expanded the line with Jalapeño Maple Sriracha (bright and zesty) and Habanero Maple Sriracha (bold and fiery). Together, they form a trio of sauces with distinct personalities, perfect for different dishes and different palates.
Meet the Trio: Flavor Profiles & Best Uses
Let’s break down each one of these award-worthy hot sauces, from ingredients to heat level and best uses.
1. Vermont Maple Sriracha
Heat Level: Mild to Medium (5/10)
Key Ingredients: Fresno chili peppers, apple cider vinegar, Vermont maple syrup, garlic, kosher salt
This is the sauce that started it all. Fruity Fresno peppers provide approachable heat, while maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness for balance.
Best Uses:
- Mix into mayo for a smoky-sweet sandwich spread
- Drizzle over roasted veggies or grain bowls
- Add depth to noodles, ramen, or fried rice
- Kick up a Bloody Mary or Michelada
2. Jalapeño Maple Sriracha (formerly “Verde”)
Heat Level: Medium-High (6/10)
Key Ingredients: Fresh jalapeño peppers, apple cider vinegar, Vermont maple syrup, garlic, kosher salt
Bright, green, and citrusy, this sauce offers a sharper kick than the original. Jalapeños bring grassy heat that pairs beautifully with maple’s earthy sweetness.
Best Uses:
- Add to tacos, burritos, or breakfast quesadillas
- Mix into guacamole or sour cream for a zesty dip
- Use on grilled shrimp, fish, or avocado toast
- Glaze chicken or pork tenderloin
3. Habanero Maple Sriracha (formerly “Very Hot”)
Heat Level: Hot (7.5/10)
Key Ingredients: Fresh habanero peppers, sweet bell peppers, apple cider vinegar, Vermont maple sugar, garlic, kosher salt
This one’s for the spice lovers. Habaneros bring intense heat, balanced by sweet peppers and maple sugar for complexity and a slow burn.
Best Uses:
- Toss with wings or ribs before grilling
- Stir into chili, soups, or stews
- Mix with soy sauce and lime for a stir-fry marinade
- Glaze burgers, brisket, or BBQ pork
