A drink that will become your summer soul. Sweet peach whispers of summer, tequila brings a festive mood, and Max Hot Honey takes it from “not bad” to “wow!”. At its heart is a spicy-honey peach syrup made with fresh peach slices that makes the flavour deep and juicy.
Preparation
- 1
Peach syrup. Combine the spicy honey and water in a saucepan and add fresh peach slices. Simmer for 10–11 minutes until the peaches soften. Mash lightly and strain.
- 2
Salt the rim. Rub the rim of the glass with spicy honey and dip it in coarse sea salt.
- 3
Shake. In a shaker with ice, add the tequila, syrup, orange liqueur and lime juice. Shake for about 30 seconds.
- 4
The finish. Strain into the salt-rimmed glasses. Garnish with a fresh peach slice.
Chef's tips
- —Want more heat? Add a little more spicy honey.
- —Reposado gives a smooth, oaky character; blanco a sharper texture.
- —Serve with BBQ pulled pork, a watermelon-and-feta salad, or spicy-honey chicken wings.
