Hot Honey is a prized, spicy-sweet condiment that may be used in a million applications, including drizzling on pizza or ice cream or enhancing cocktails, marinades, and glazes.
100% straight honey does not mix properly into cocktails as it freezes to the inside of the shaker. So, bartenders dilute honey with a small amount of water for optimal mixability.
Cheeky's "no-squeeze" Hot Honey is infused with habanero and jalapeño peppers for a distinctive blend of heat and sweetness, complemented with floral notes and a soft lingering heat, and diluted to a 2:1 ratio (wildflower honey to water) for easy pouring and mixability in cocktails.
Use for Spicy Margaritas, Bee's Knees, and Gold Rushes, or drizzled over pizza, tacos, ice cream, and more.
