tabasco sauce

Fiery red condiment

Tabasco sauce is a brand of hot sauce made from tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt, aged in wooden barrels.

The name has become somewhat generic for similar cayenne-based hot sauces.

A few drops add heat to eggs, bloody marys, or nearly anything: Pass the tabasco sauce.
