Everglade Sauces was born in the wild heart of Southwest Florida, where fire, smoke, and bold flavor come naturally.

It started with Hobbs, a backyard pitmaster obsessed with real wood smoke and slow barbecue. Oak, hickory, and citrus wood burned day and night in his smoker, and his barbecue quickly earned a local following. But what people kept asking for was the sauce.

One humid night deep in the Everglades, Hobbs began experimenting. Citrus for brightness. Garlic for bite. Sweet peppers for balance. Then a splash of homemade Everglade moonshine. The pan hissed, flames flared, and smoke rolled through the air. What came together was a hot sauce that tasted like Florida itself. Smoky, bold, slightly wild, and unforgettable.

The sauce showed up at a neighborhood cookout and disappeared just as fast. One taste turned into requests, then demand. Everglade Sauces was born.

Today, every bottle stays true to that original moment. Bold flavor inspired by the Florida wilderness, authentic smoke from real wood, and a balance of heat and sweetness with real soul.
