Overview: Cazcabel Tequila and Australian condiment maker The Fermentalists have collaborated to create a Hot Honey Margarita cocktail for World Tequila Day. The partnership features Cazcabel Honey Tequila Liqueur, available nationwide in Australia via Dan Murphy’s and premium independent retailers.
The Full Story
This collaboration highlights a shift in flavor profiles, pairing Cazcabel Honey Tequila Liqueur with The Fermentalists’ locally made Hot Honey. The cocktail combines fresh lime juice and salt to deliver an ideal balance of citrus, sweetness, and slow-building spice. Made with habanero chillies and native wattle seed, The Fermentalists’ Hot Honey adds a rich heat and subtle nuttiness to the classic margarita profile.
Cazcabel Honey brings warm notes of natural honey and agave to the mix. Jordan Young, Cazcabel Brand Ambassador, noted that the cocktail offers an easy way for Australians to experiment with bold flavours at home. The release arrives as hot honey continues its move beyond pizza, fried chicken and charcuterie and into the cocktail glass.
Production & Profile
Cazcabel describes itself as a “true field to glass tequila”, made using 100 percent family estate-grown agave. The product is produced at Hacienda Cazcabel in Jalisco using only agave, water and yeast. The Honey Tequila Liqueur builds on the brand’s Blanco tequila with the rich sweetness of natural honey and notes of earthy agave.
Brand & Industry History
Cazcabel is a premium, independently owned tequila brand produced in the Jalisco Mountains of Mexico. The operation is run by a fourth-generation agave farming family that grows its agave on its own fields. This approach supports the brand’s commitment to estate-grown ingredients and traditional production methods.
What This Means
The collaboration arrives as hot honey continues its move beyond savory dishes and into the cocktail glass. Menu mentions are increasing by 56 per cent across Australian venues over the past 12 months. Cazcabel’s approach supports this trend, positioning the brand alongside The Fermentalists to validate the use of spicy condiments in mixed drinks.
Consumer Takeaway
Cazcabel Honey Tequila Liqueur is available from Dan Murphy’s and premium independent retailers nationwide. The cocktail can be recreated anywhere in Australia using 45ml Cazcabel Honey Tequila Liqueur, 25ml fresh lime juice, 15ml The Fermentalists Hot Honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt or two drops of 20 per cent saline. Garnish with a lime wheel and Tajín to serve in a rocks glass.
