The Fiery Hot Honey Cocktail/Mocktail

The Fiery Hot Honey Cocktail/Mocktail

When happy hour needs a glow-up, it’s time to pour the heat — and no, we’re not talking about your average margarita. Meet the Hot Honey Cocktail, a bold, sassy blend of sweet Manuka honey, fiery chili, zesty lime, and just a hint of wasabi to wake up your senses and shake up your taste buds. It’s the drink that slaps — in all the right ways.

What You’ll Need:

1 tablespoon I Am Hot Honey (because basic honey isn’t invited)

1 shot tequila (or mezcal if you like it smoky)

1/2 shot fresh lime juice

1/2 shot apple cider vinegar (trust me, it’s the secret weapon)

A whisper of wasabi (yes, we’re THAT bold)

Ice

Chili salt for the rim

Lime wedge for garnish

How to Stir Up Some Trouble:

1. Rim your cocktail glass with lime and dip it in chili salt — because first impressions matter.

2. In a shaker, mix tequila, lime juice, I Am Hot Honey, apple cider vinegar, and that little dab of wasabi. Shake like you’re shaking off all your exes.

3. Add ice and shake again — we want it cold, fiery, and fabulous.

4. Strain into your glass, garnish with a lime wedge, and drizzle a little extra I Am Hot Honey on the rim if you’re feeling naughty.

Why It Works:

The Manuka honey’s rich sweetness hugs the lime and chili, while the wasabi sneaks in with a cheeky kick at the end. It’s bold, playful, and impossible to forget — just like you.

So go on, light up the night with a cocktail that’s as hot as your attitude.

Repeat after me… I AM HOT HONEY!

1 tablespoon I Am Hot Honey (because we don’t do ordinary)

Juice of 1 lime (fresh, because you deserve it)
