Mic had a great time developing this recipe, with the invaluable tasting help of the Mic’s Chilli team. Each team member contributed a little to the final result, and we truly hope you love it! Like everything in life, balance is key—and this recipe found its harmony when the tangy heat of yellow Scotch bonnets blended beautifully with the tropical fruitiness of mango and pineapple, all elevated by the subtle warmth of ginger.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Steve Simpson and Saray Elena for their inspired label illustration. The progression from the initial rough sketch to the production-ready masterpiece is captured in the included images. We’re thrilled with how perfectly the label conveys the character of the sauce!

Big shout out to Steve Simpson and Saray Elena @stevesimpson / @jitterbug.design who collaborated on the label design. It's another cracker, thanks so much! 🥰

I was 16 when I first discovered hot sauce.

As an Irish lad growing up in the 1980s and 90s, the closest I’d come to heat had been the spice burger that would regularly feature in Friday-night runs to the chipper.

All that changed in 1994 on a family trip to Belize, where I fell in love… with chillies. Every table I sat at had a bottle of sauce on it, which, of course, I took as a personal challenge to try every single one!  

My return home came at a cost to my taste buds, though, as everything now seemed so bland and boring. So, I headed to the kitchen and spent hours, days, weeks, and years perfecting my own sauces to satisfy my hunger for the stuff.

And so Mic’s Chilli was born in 2010, when my first sauce, Inferno Original, made it onto Irish dinner tables, finally offering heat-hungry tongues something to talk about. And (gratefully) they did…

Year on year, it became increasingly obvious that I wasn’t alone in my search for spice, and more than a decade later, we now have 15 sauces that range from mild-hit-of-heat to blow-your-socks-off-burn, which are available across the globe.

Our hot sauces are lovingly handmade in Wicklow, Ireland from the finest chillies the world has to offer, and contain no artificial flavourings, colourings, preservatives, or other nasties. Our sauces are wholesome and delicious, and your granny would approve – cause she’s got a bottle herself!

Hope you enjoy our range,

Mic
