What’s Hot Honey?
Hot honey has taken the internet by storm. It’s a blend of honey, and a kick of spice. It’s a super simple recipe that you can make at home OR Mike’s Hot Honey is a great option.
I made mine by combining honey, chili powder, hot sauce and a pinch of salt. Super easy and delicious. Plus, since all the ingredients are pantry staples, it’ll last you a good while.
What You’ll Need For This Hot Honey Mango Mocktail
- Mango: I used both fresh mango and mango nectar.
- N/A Tequila: I used this Tequila alternative. You can leave out or use water for mocktail. If you’re making a cocktail use your favorite Tequila.
- Orange: fresh squeeze orange juice or use a N/A orange liqueur.
- Lime Juice: y’all know the drill. If it’s not fresh, I don’t want it.
- Hot Honey: Add’s the perfect amount of sweetness and kick. Make it from scratch or buy your favorite.
- Tajìn: to rim the glass.
- Ice: Serve chilled or on the rocks.
Tips For Making The Best Hot Honey Mango Mocktail
Here are a few tips for making this mocktail
- Fresh is best! Use fresh citrus to bring out all the natural flavors in this mocktail.
- Strain by pouring into a fine mesh strainer rather than strainer with a cocktail shaker.
- Chill your glass. When using a loose syrup like agave or honey it tends to drip. By chilling your prepared glass it keeps the rim in place, and allows the drink to be colder longer.
- Garnish your drinks. It will make the experience even better.

When using fresh mango, the flesh might get stuck in a traditional cocktail shaker. I recommend straining the mixture carefully through a mesh strainer. You can totally opt out of using fresh mango and use mango juice as an alternative.
