Mike’s Hot Honey has already come for our Taco Bell condiments, our potato chips, and our AriZonas. Michael Hot Honey isn’t stopping at canned green tea, though; he wants to be in all your drinks. I recently got an email announcing the launch of Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup, intended as a simple syrup substitute with heat. This is an unexpected step for the brand… or is it? Honey and syrup both fit into that awkward “almost a condiment” category, so this might be a natural extension. Let’s find out exactly what’s going on here.
What’s in Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup?
Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup has a very complicated recipe… It’s Mike’s Hot Honey mixed with water at a 1-to-1 ratio – seriously! Mike’s Hot Honey has tons of recipes online that refer to Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup made with that one-step process. Per the list of recipes, Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup has countless uses: lattes, cocktails, slushies, and more. It sounds like there was significant demand for a shelf-stable packaged version of this sweet-and-spicy simple syrup for use in bars and restaurants – and who is Mike’s to decline that extra business?
Where can I get Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup?
Mike’s Hot Honey Syrup is available now in 6-count cases through Mike’s existing wholesale networks and single bottles through the internet! Industry-side customers will want to reach out to whoever handles their existing Mike’s Hot Honey needs, while us home mixologists can head straight to the Mike’s Hot Honey webstore. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a broader retail release in the future – but will it be in the coffee aisle or with the mixers?
Is there any facet of food Mike’s Hot Honey won’t invade?
After a little research, I can confirm: no. A recent Mike’s Hot Honey/HelloFresh promotional box really opened my eyes to how many ways you can ingest Mike’s premiere export: Tillamook jerky, Utz potato chips, Bush’s Grillin’ Beans, Blue Diamond Almonds, and more. Hell, Mike’s Hot Honey did a collaboration with Coldstone Creamery last year. There is no food frontier safe from Mike’s Hot Honey.
