Mike's Hot Honey Expands Into Beverage Innovation with New Hot Honey Syrup

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (December 2, 2025) – Mike's Hot Honey, America's original and leading hot honey brand, is expanding its product offering with the introduction of Mike's Hot Honey Syrup, a new formulation designed specifically for use in beverages. Made with the same simple, high-quality ingredients of 100% pure honey and real chili peppers, the syrup delivers the brand's signature "sweet heat" flavor in a format optimized for both hot and cold drinks.

The new syrup represents the brand's first new extension since the debut of Mike's Hot Honey Extra Hot and reflects the continued rise of sweet and spicy flavor trends across the beverage industry. From lattes and cold brews to cocktails and mocktails, Mike's Hot Honey Syrup allows baristas, bartenders and operators to easily add a balanced, flavorful kick to drinks with the convenience of a shelf-stable, ready-to-use formulation that maintains the brand's signature flavor and consistency.

The product debuted this summer through a partnership with Ziggi's Coffee, one of the nation's fastest-growing specialty coffee franchises, which featured the syrup in its new Mike's Hot Honey Latte. The seasonal menu item quickly became a guest favorite and marked Mike's Hot Honey's first-ever national coffee collaboration, signaling strong consumer enthusiasm for the brand's entry into the beverage category.

"The demand for sweet-heat flavors in beverages has never been stronger," said Kent Spellman, President of Mike's Hot Honey. "Our new syrup was developed to help operators, baristas, and mixologists easily bring the signature Mike's flavor to everything from coffee to cocktails while staying true to our simple origins. It's the same premium honey and chili infusion we're known for but specially crafted for drinks."

The syrup infuses any beverage with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Each 750mL (25.4 oz) PET plastic bottle is crafted for durability and convenience, designed for easy use in foodservice and hospitality settings. The syrup comes six bottles per case and features a 365-day shelf life which is ideal for operators seeking a long-lasting, versatile sweetener that adds flavor innovation to their beverage programs.

Mike's Hot Honey Syrup (750mL) is available now for foodservice and hospitality professionals through the company's wholesale program and select distributors. Consumers can also purchase bottles exclusively at mikeshothoney.com.
