Gator Hammock Gator Sauce is a staple of the Firehouse Subs Hot Sauce Bar. While primarily used as a free condiment to add a “Florida-style” kick to your sandwich, many locations also sell full 10 oz. bottles for fans to take home.
The sauce is a unique, Louisiana-style blend with a “vinegar zing.” It features a moderate heat level (typically rated a 4 out of 10 on the Firehouse scale) and a complex, peppery garlic finish.
- Key Ingredients: Aged Cayenne Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Guajillo Peppers, Garlic, Black Pepper, Onion Powder, Celery Seed, and Xanthan Gum.
