Queen Majesty Cocoa Ghost Hot Sauce

Queen Majesty Cocoa Ghost Hot Sauce is a standout addition to my collection, delivering a subtle yet enjoyable flavor profile with a good balance of sweetness and heat. The chocolate tone is brief but memorable, while the sweetness carries hints of prune or raisin—despite neither being listed in the ingredients. This sauce manages to complement dishes without overpowering them, making it versatile and easy to pair with a variety of meals.

In terms of texture, it’s thicker than the typically watery consistency of other Queen Majesty sauces, which adds to its appeal. The heat is strong but manageable, reaching an intensity ceiling that becomes tolerable over time. Best of all, the sweet cocoa finish lingers pleasantly, offering a long-lasting flavor that enhances the eating experience.

I purchased this sauce in May and reviewed it in June, but the 147mL bottle didn’t last past the summer—a testament to how much I enjoyed it. At $15 per bottle ($0.10/mL), it’s on the pricier side, with a 34.7% variance above my usual price per mL. However, it’s worth the splurge for the quality and flavor, earning it a solid 7.0/10, which is above my personal average of 5.5/10.

This is one I’d gladly rebuy when I have the chance. It’s a refined, flavorful sauce that’s as delightful as it is distinctive.
