About Us

Some recipes are invented. Ours was inherited.

Two Ugly Mugs started the way the best things do in a backyard garden, at the end of a season, with a family that refused to let anything go to waste.

For generations, the Perella family has been growing, canning, and sharing food made the right way. No shortcuts. No preservatives. Just fresh-picked ingredients and a recipe that's never needed changing because it was right the first time.

The habanero base came naturally. The perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and bold flavor? That took a little longer and a lot of taste tests around the family table.

Today, every jar of Two Ugly Mugs is still that same end-of-season tradition in a bottle. Same recipe. Same ingredients. Same family behind it.

Turns out, two ugly mugs can make something truly beautiful.
