The iconic Australian donut brand has teamed up with legendary hot sauce TABASCO® to launch a limited-edition donut that’s as bold as it is delicious.
The star of the show is the Bloodshot donut, made with TABASCO® Sauce and designed to look like a ghoulish eyeball. It’s filled with spicy TABASCO®-flavoured jam that delivers a little fire behind the sweetness. Naturally, we had to find out if this daring combo actually works, so we got the Best of Brisbane team together for a taste test and a rating.
