Spiced vinegar is a type of Philippine vinegar condiment that is made of vinegar e.g. fermented coconut sap (Cebuano: sukang tuba)^[1] infused with spices primarily bird's eye chili and garlic.

A variation of spiced vinegar was popularized by Rene Jose B. Stuart del Rosario of Iligan City in 2000 where the spices are finely chopped possibly with the use of a blender or food processor. This is now a mass-produced product under the brand name Sukang Pinakurat (derived from the Cebuano word kurat, meaning to "surprise" or "frighten").^[2] Due to its popularity, the Stuart del Rosario family in 2004 had registered trademarks for sukang pinakurat, sukang waykurat, and sukang kuratsoy with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.^[3]
