serves 8-10

WHAT YOU NEED:

5 Blood Oranges

4 oz. Tequila

2 oz. Spicy Honey Syrup

2 12 oz. cans of Blood Orange Cider

SPICY HONEY SYRUP:

1 Cup Honey

3 Dried Chipotle Peppers

6 Dried Chile de Àrbol Peppers

¼ Cup Water

MAKE SPICY HONEY:

Roughly chop the dried peppers and add to honey in a small pot. On low heat, bring honey and pepper mixture to a simmer then turn off heat. Let cool for up to an hour. Add water, slowly mixing until fully incorporated with the honey and peppers. Pour honey through a strainer and refrigerate.

SPICY SECRET:

Juice the oranges to get 1½ cups (optional: strain to remove pulp). Add tequila and the spicy honey syrup, mix well. Fill a highball glass with ice and pour up to half the glass with juice mixture and top off with ½ can of the blood orange cider.
