The Spicy CEO – A Hot Honey Cocktail for Founders Who Like It Fiery

Friday is here.

And if you’re anything like us, you’ve been running on ambition, coffee, and chaos all week.

But now?

Now it’s time to sip with purpose.

Introducing The Spicy CEO—a bold cocktail made with I Am Hot Honey, designed to celebrate the kind of person who builds empires by day and mixes heat with honey by night.

It’s sweet. It’s spicy. It’s got backbone. Just like you.

Why We Made This

Because a balanced diet looks a little different when you’re building something real.

Because we believe in spicing up tradition—not just in food, but in the way we live.

And because real honey deserves a place at the bar.

The Spicy CEO

A cocktail to toast the risk-takers, rule-breakers, and real-ingredient lovers.

Ingredients:

• 45ml tequila (or mezcal if you’re feeling smoky)
• 30ml pink grapefruit juice
• 15ml fresh lime juice
• 10ml I Am Hot Honey (warm slightly for easy mixing)
• Dash of chilli tincture or a tiny slice of red chilli
• Ice
• Optional: smoked salt + lime wedge for the rim

Optional twist (because founders do things differently):

Add a splash of beet kvass or kombucha—for a gut-loving, flavor-bending upgrade.

Instructions:

1. Rim your glass with lime and dip in smoked salt.
2. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
3. Shake like you just closed a round of funding.
4. Strain into a short glass with fresh ice.
5. Garnish with a grapefruit twist, a chilli slice, or an edible flower if you’re feeling extra.

Why It Works

Hot Honey brings that slow, golden burn.

Citrus keeps it bright.

Tequila? That’s the fuel of revolution.

This isn’t just a cocktail.

It’s a vibe.

It’s a reminder to build boldly, drink beautifully, and never water yourself down.
