Where to Find Hot Honey
The key to a Spicy Passionfruit Vodka Mule is the SPICE! We achieve the spice in this recipe with one of my favorite ingredients-hot honey. When I’m feeling lazy, I’ll purchase hot honey in stores. Trader Joe’s sells a version as well as Mike’s Hot Honey, which you can get on Amazon!
Making your Hot Honey at Home
Making your own hot honey at home is incredibly simple! Place 1 chipotle pepper in 1 cup of hot honey in a saucepan over love medium heat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes so the pepper can infuse into the honey. If you like your hot honey on the milder side, carefully remove the pepper from the honey. If you like it on the hotter side. Leave your pepper in your honey and store in the refrigerator.
Juicing Your Lime
Sometimes I get lazy, especially if making a batch cocktail, and purchase lime juice already squeezed. This is a great option if you’re short on time, but I’ve noticed there’s often additional ingredients and chemicals in the pre-squeezed lime juices. I’d recommend to squeeze your own! If you haven’t invested in a lime squeezer, they are a game changer! I attached a link below to a 2-in-1 lemon and lime squeezer!
Finding Gluten Free Vodka
Gluten can definitely sneak up on you when it comes to alcohol! It’s best to stick with vodkas distilled from potatoes and corn, but even then there can be additional ingredients added causing the vodka to contain gluten. In addition, If your decision to be gluten free stems from a wheat allergy (as my mother’s does), keep an eye on what is being distilled. For example, Grey Goose offers a gluten free vodka, but is distilled with wheat.
My go-to is usually Tito’s vodka. It’s relatively cheap and available in most restaurants/bars. Titos is distilled from corn so it is naturally gluten free. Tito’s is also certified gluten free from the Gluten Free Certification Organization according to their website.
