15 Best Spicy co*cktails to Drink (2024)

This Bee Sting co*cktail is similar to the classic Bee’s Knees but with a spicy kick added thanks to the Ancho Reyes, a spicy liqueur. This punchy co*cktail is such a treat when you’re in the mood for something sweeter, thanks to the honey-flavored simple syrup, and the heat takes things up a notch for a dynamic result.

Pineapple Jalapeno Margaritas are a great choice for those who enjoy spicy co*cktails. The sweetness of pineapple balances out the spiciness of jalapeno, resulting in a refreshing and delicious flavor. It’s a delicious drink that I can’t resist throughout the year.

A Spicy Jalapeno Gimlet is another one of my favorite drinks, thanks to its relative simplicity. I highly recommend trying it when making co*cktails in spring or summer with friends. This recipe includes a recipe for a homemade jalapeno simple syrup, which I also highly recommend trying instead of buying for the best, freshest flavor.

As someone who loves bold and adventurous flavors, the spicy ginger pineapple crush is a game-changer. Combining sweet pineapple and fiery ginger creates a dynamic flavor profile beyond invigorating. This is a must-try co*cktail for those who enjoy bold yet inviting sensations, and I especially enjoy it when I need a little pick-me-up in the colder months.

Spicy Ranch Water combines silver tequila, lime juice, jalapenos, and more for a compelling result that fires up your taste buds. I love adding the chili lime seasoning on the rim for extra flavor, plus a lovely visual appeal that people tend to appreciate at events.

The “Hawaiian Bonfire” is a spicy pineapple-based co*cktail in which you first create a jalapeno-infused pineapple juice before mixing in bold ingredients like mezcal and Malibu rum. The result is a fiery drink that tastes like a tropical paradise, and I can easily see it becoming the star of any summer party.

This Smoky Mezcal Paloma also features a two-part recipe, as you’ll need first to make a jalapeno-flavored simple syrup. But trust me, the additional time and effort will be worth it once you’ve created this smoky, citrusy, tart, sweet, and ultimately delightful summertime beverage. I can seriously drink this one all day!

Fresh, muddled strawberries combine lime juice, ginger beer, and jalapeno slices for this complex and exciting Sweet + Spicy Bourbon co*cktail. It stays true to its name, offering a balanced, sweet, and spicy mix that almost everyone will love upon first sip. I like to make this for special, more intimate gatherings, as it takes a bit longer for me to prepare it just right.

Most people enjoy a classic tomato juice-based Bloody Mary, but the Spicy Tomato Martini with Hot Sauce is a must for more adventurous folks. This one packs some severe heat with its addition of Tabasco hot sauce, and the vodka and fresh lime help to cool things down for a clean finish.

Hittin’ the Sauce is a fun recipe for your next lively evening event. The deep purple color is simultaneously sophisticated and welcoming. Combining ginger liqueur, blackberries, lime juice, vodka, and hot sauce is a dynamic, intriguing treat that people won’t stop discussing.

You’ll make a spicy honey syrup for this Fiery Honey Badger co*cktail and be so glad you did! The mix of honey, water, and red pepper flakes is all it takes to create a drink that’s out-of-this-world delicious! The spicy honey syrup adds a burst of heat that perfectly balances the sweetness of the honey.

Don’t underestimate the power of green Chartreuse, agave nectar, and habanero tincture in this ‘Spicy With Tequila” co*cktail. Despite its somewhat primary name, this co*cktail is dynamic and riveting with each sip. I appreciate that it includes a habanero flavor instead of the standard jalapeno flavor in many other spicy co*cktails.

Last is the Hot and Spicy, another simply-named but far-from-simple spicy co*cktail. It features Cognac Roullet, chili peppers, cloves, ginger root, and more, making it the perfect drink for exceptional occasions. You may need to get a few more bartender-worthy tools in your kitchen for this, but it’ll be worth it!
