Aiden's Smooth Hot-erator Hot Sauce 2026

Smooth Hot-erator does exactly what it says — smooth as it goes down, then a slow-building fire underneath. It's my second fermented hot sauce, made with plums from Taze's garden and chillies we grew ourselves. It's got that Chinese plum sauce flavour, sweet and rich, but with way more heat than my last one. Blended silky smooth and strained through a chinois, so there's nothing chunky about it — just heat that creeps up on you.

04Shrewsbury Sagardoa 2025A Basque‑inspired, bottle‑conditioned cider made from apples picked in Mum’s garden in Shrewsbury. It’s lively, lightly hazy, and proudly rustic — an English harvest with a sagardoa heart.
05Aiden's Hottokikku Hot Sauce 2025Hottokikku means hot kick, which is exactly what this sauce gives. It’s my first fermented hot sauce — made with my own jalapeños and garlic, sweet pineapple, and finished with homemade mead vinegar. It’s smooth, tangy, and just the right kind of fiery. I use it on everything, but it’s especially good as the base for buffalo wings.
06Karaage ChickenI (Aiden) made karaage chicken with Ad. It’s Japanese fried chicken: juicy, crisp, and really good when you double fry it. I like mine with a buffalo butter dip.
07Shopped Cyser 2025Sometimes you want to press apples from your own tree. Other times… you grab a few bags from the supermarket. This sparkling session cyser is the latter — fresh apples, honey, a bit of fizz, and a clean, easy finish.
