Cocktail by Bryan Muirhead, Owner of Holy Spirits & Bar Director of Quesadilla Gorilla.
It’s tough to let mezcal lead the way in a cocktail, but it can be done, and done well. The Hot Hunnie features a spicy tequila that pairs up with local honey and a combination of bitters, adding a nuttiness to the already smoky combination of flavors. Topped with a lime wheel, and rimmed with pink himalayan sea salt, it’s important to note that rimming the entire glass is not the goal. Not everyone wants salt with every sip. Providing a smaller region of a salt garnish on a cocktail like this adds benefit to both the taste and the appearance of the drink.
Rim your glass with the pink himalayan salt and set aside.
Combine all ingredients and shake.
Pour the drink into your salted glass.
Slice one lime wheel and place directly into the glass.
Top with fresh lavender to add a floral scent and color to the drink.
