If you love spicy margaritas, a hot honey margarita is where it’s at. Trust me. I love margaritas and when I’m feeling extra sassy, I’ll order a spicy one. Jalapeños are my jam and while I welcome them in my margaritas, adding hot honey as an ingredient is ten times better, in my opinion.
Hear me out. Replacing the jalepeño with hot honey gives your margarita a slow, sweet burn, in the most delightful way. A jalapeño doesn’t have the same “slow burn” effect. I can’t say this enough but hot honey as a margarita ingredient has truly changed my life. Now, I’ll still order a spicy margarita however a bar will prepare it but if I have my choice in things, I’m choosing a hot honey margarita all day.
How to make a peach hot honey margarita
Before we get to the recipe, for the peach portion of this margarita, I used Simply Peach juice. My original plan was to use peach nectar but I was having a difficult time finding it. Simply Peach worked just fine but I’d imagine, finding a peach nectar would be even better.
You could also try this using any other fruit flavors. Mango, strawberry and cherries come to mind as yummy options.
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz peach juice or nectar
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz Cointreau
- 1.5 oz tequila blanco
- 1 oz hot honey
- Lime and peach slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients; add ice and shake vigorously (the outside of the shaker should be frosty).
- Pour into a glass over ice and enjoy.
