The “Hot Honey Affair” – A Sexy, Sophisticated Weekend Cocktail
Share
Sultry, smooth, and just the right amount of heat—this cocktail is designed to turn heads and set the mood. A sensual blend of smoky mezcal, citrus-kissed bourbon, and a seductive drizzle of I Am Hot Honey, this drink is not just a cocktail—it’s an experience.
Ingredients
• 1.5 oz Mezcal (for a smoky seduction)
• 1 oz Bourbon (for rich, caramel depth)
• 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for that sharp kiss)
• 0.5 oz I Am Hot Honey (spicy, sweet, and impossible to resist)
• 0.25 oz Orange Liqueur (because sophistication deserves a citrus twist)
• 2 dashes of Aromatic Bitters (for a lingering intrigue)
• Ice (chilled, because we keep it cool—until we don’t)
Garnish & Glass
• Glass: Chilled coupe or sexy old-fashioned glass
• Garnish: Smoked orange twist + a chili-salted rim
Instructions
1. Prepare the glass: Rim your coupe or rocks glass with a mix of flaky sea salt and chili powder for that irresistible heat.
2. Shake it up: In a cocktail shaker, add mezcal, bourbon, fresh lemon juice, I Am Hot Honey, orange liqueur, bitters, and ice. Shake like you’re stirring up trouble.
3. Strain & serve: Strain into your prepared glass over a single large ice cube or serve neat if you prefer pure indulgence.
4. Garnish with seduction: Express an orange peel over the drink, run it along the rim for an intoxicating aroma, and drop it in like a final signature.
5. Sip. Smolder. Repeat.
