The drink you didn't know you wanted - this Hot Honey Margarita with a nice kick of heat, but still be recognizable as a margarita with a limey saltiness...and whoa did we get the flavors spot on!📷
It begins with realizing you can save yourself upwards of $15 on a bottle of hot honey - check out how to make this at home with 2 ingredients!
Preparing your own is really easy and it's going to be enjoyed for so much more than this memorable margarita!
The first secret to a really good hot honey margarita; you CANNOT shake it over ice. It needs to be shaken dry (without ice) or stirred vigorously so the hot honey can incorporate with the cocktail before it gets combined with ice.
The second secret is to use a couple extra red pepper flakes when you stir/shake the cocktail. The hot honey isn't enough heat on its own - who knew?!
Get your rim ready with some salt and put the ice in but set it aside.
Add the usual suspects to your shaker but include hot honey and red pepper flakes.
Once you shake it vigourously, strain the drink over the ice cubes. Be sure to add a lime wedge!
