Summer’s on, and you’re on the go, yo! Here are a few simple ideas for keeping the good times (and good eats) rolling while you’re out on adventure. Whether you’re hitting the beach, road-tripping, or diving head-first into a music festival, one thing remains constant: the need for epic flavor. 

Secret Aardvark hot sauces are your adventure-ready Epic Flavor Sidekick that won’t explode like a volcano inside your cooler, backpack, or beach bag. We’re your everyday carry, ready to roll wherever you go.

Major Roadside (Food) Attraction

Forget the mysterious roadside greasy-spoon diners. Instead, imagine pulling over for a quick and easy picnic. Just grab some fresh bread, deli meats, and your favorite Aardvark sauce. A drizzle of our Serrabanero Green Hot Sauce will turn a simple sandwich into a mouthwatering masterpiece, making every pit stop a winning flavor stop.

Sun, Sand, and Sauce

Summer = splashing! So, get in that water and make some waves.

But forget the bland onshore snacks, because with Aardvark, the real stoke comes at lunchtime. Picture this: succulent shrimp marinated in our Drunken Jerk Jamaican Marinade sizzling on the grill, releasing irresistible smells that will have everyone flocking to your spot. Elevate your beach game with a splash of our Reaper Aardvark Smoked Hot Sauce drizzled over freshly grilled corn. Feed that well-earned appetite. Surf’s up, chow down!

Get Sauced at the Festival!

It’s festival season, y’all! No matter your jam—EDM, hippie grooves, hip-hop beats, or a mix—you’ll find a gathering to match your summer vibes. Oh…but the food. Festival fare is notoriously meh. 

Never fear, we got you! Now, you can lively up overpriced, under-spiced grub easier than ever with our new Aardvark Habanero Dipping Cups! These 1.5-oz single-serve cups are perfect for on-the-go, adding a tangy kick to overpriced noodles or bland burgers.

Extra bonus tip: Spot a cutie in line at the noodle booth? Skip the cheesy pick-up line and offer them a squirt of sauce instead. Boom! Instant fiery connection <3

Kick it While Camping

Keep it simple but delicious with a pile of campfire nachos. Grab your trusty skillet, fill it with chips and all the toppings, cover in foil, and 10 minutes later, grub out on cheesy, crunchy goodness. Splash some of our Smoky Aardvark Chipotle-Hab Sauce on top for a fiery, bussin’ feast that will have your friends talking about your cooking long after the trip’s over. Plus, bring a few additional Aardvark flavors for some late-night hot sauce tastings under the stars!

Sasquatch (Flavor) Attack?

Given that our mascot is a giant blue aardvark, we’re totally open to mythological creatures. So, while some call it “camping,” we call it “Sasquatch spotting.” 

Night vision goggles? Check! Handheld recorder? You bet! Hot sauce? Obviously! But does Bigfoot like hot sauce? And if so, what kind? It’s time for some field research, folks. 

Whip up some spicy BBQ chicken skewers doused in our Drunken Jerk Jamaican Marinade. Set them grilling, and who knows? The delectable aromas of your Aardvark-slathered campfire cooking might just call all the ‘squatches to the yard. Keep your phone handy for a selfie! #SquatchGoals
