Neil's Real Deal Ananas Ghost -tulikastike | 155 ml

I was nervous the ghost pepper would overpower everything, but that Caribbean pineapple tang balances it out perfectly. Half a teaspoon on grilled chicken brought a slow, fruity burn that lasted just the right amount of time. My friends kept asking for the bottle name all evening.

The heat from the ghost peppers builds slow and then lingers, but that Caribbean pineapple sweetness balances it out so you keep going back for more. Poured it over grilled chicken at a barbecue last weekend and it was gone by the end of the night.

The pineapple sweetness hits first and then the ghost pepper kicks in a few seconds later, which is a fun combo on grilled chicken. It's genuinely hot though, so I only use a few drops per plate. Wish the 155 ml bottle was a bit bigger for the price.
