Frequently Asked Questions
Yo, anyone used Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey for a spicy margarita? How'd it work out?+
Yeah, I've played around with it. The Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey works pretty well in a spicy margarita, especially if you're looking for that honey sweetness to balance the heat. I found it's thick, so you either need to thin it out slightly with a bit of tequila for a syrup, or just use a smaller amount directly in the shaker. It gives a good cayenne kick without being overwhelming, and the maple note adds a nice background complexity you don't get from just chili flakes. Definitely try rimming the glass with a mix of salt and a bit more hot honey.
Got a half-gallon of this hot honey, what are some easy bar bites that really pop with it?+
That half-gallon is a goldmine for bar bites. Beyond wings, we do a quick drizzle over crispy fried brussels sprouts, or on loaded potato skins after they come out of the oven. It's also killer on mini corn dogs or as a dip for chicken strips. If you want something a bit different, try glazing candied bacon or even some roasted peanuts for a spicy-sweet snack mix. The thick glaze holds up well on almost anything you want to coat.
Thinking about a hot honey glaze for a dessert pizza, but is this stuff too 'wing-sauce-y' for pastry?+
Honestly, I wouldn't call it 'wing-sauce-y' for desserts. The Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey has a distinct honey and maple sweetness that really comes through, with the cayenne providing more of a warmth than a savory kick. For a dessert pizza, you could absolutely use it. It would be amazing drizzled over a fruit and mascarpone pizza, or even with a chocolate base. Just don't go overboard, let that spicy-sweet pop be the star.
What's the deal with keeping this big Sweet Baby Ray's container fresh after opening at the bar?+
Once you crack open that 0.5-gallon Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey, it needs to go in the fridge, no question. We portion ours into smaller squeeze bottles for the bar and kitchen line, and keep the main container sealed tight in cold storage. It's thick, so it won't go bad immediately, but refrigeration keeps it safe and prevents any flavour degradation. Just make sure those smaller bottles are getting cleaned and refilled regularly.
Any Calgary bartenders using this Hot Honey in a signature cocktail right now? Need ideas.+
Yeah, a few spots in Calgary are. I've seen it pop up in a few whiskey cocktails, a Hot Honey Old Fashioned is a no-brainer with that maple hint. One place was doing a 'Calgary Sunset' with a splash of it in a gin and grapefruit juice mix, really worked well. We even played with it in a Caesar variation, rimming the glass with it and a chili-salt blend. It's versatile enough to fit a lot of different concepts, especially with Canadian spirits.
Does the maple hint in this Sweet Baby Ray's hot honey actually come through in drinks or just get lost?+
From my experience, the maple hint in this Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey definitely comes through, especially if you're pairing it with spirits that can carry those notes, like bourbon or rye. It's not a super dominant maple flavour, more of a subtle richness that rounds out the honey and cayenne. It helps make the flavour profile feel more complex and less like just 'spicy honey.' It adds depth to the finish of a drink, which is what you want in a signature cocktail.
Considering this bulk hot honey for a catering event, is the handle on the 0.5 gallon reliable for pouring on site?+
Yeah, the handle on the 0.5-gallon Sweet Baby Ray's container is solid for catering. We've used it for big events, and it makes pouring sauce into smaller squeeze bottles or directly onto food on the line way easier and less messy. It's sturdy, so you don't have to worry about it giving out on you when you're moving fast. Just make sure you've got a good pour spout or funnel if you're transferring it to avoid spills.
For a bar manager looking to add a hot honey item, how versatile is this specific Sweet Baby Ray's glaze beyond wings?+
This Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey is surprisingly versatile, well beyond just wings. We use it for glazes on grilled chicken or pork skewers, as a finishing drizzle on flatbreads, and even mixed into vinaigrettes for a spicy salad. For the bar, it's a solid option for creating unique syrups for cocktails and mocktails, or for rimming glasses. The cayenne and maple notes make it adaptable to both savoury and sweet applications, so you can integrate it across your entire menu. It's definitely not a one-trick pony.
How can Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Honey Wing Sauce be used in cocktails?+
This hot honey glaze is fantastic for cocktails, bringing a unique spicy-sweet dimension. You can use it as a base for a hot honey syrup by mixing it with a bit of water or spirit, or simply drizzle it directly into shakers for individual drinks. It pairs really well with spirits like whiskey, tequila, and even dark rum, creating a complex flavour profile in your signature drinks. Think a Hot Honey Old Fashioned or a Spicy Paloma for a real kick.
What kind of bar snacks can I make with this hot honey glaze?+
This hot honey glaze is perfect for upgrading your bar snack menu beyond just wings. Try tossing popcorn or roasted nuts with it for a sweet and spicy treat that encourages more drink sales. It also works great brushed onto grilled halloumi, pork belly bites, or even as a finishing drizzle on mini flatbreads with prosciutto and goat cheese. The thick consistency ensures it clings well to these smaller items.
