CAZCABEL TEQUILA AND THE FERMENTALISTS ARE BRINGING WINTER’S HOTTEST DRINKS TREND TO SYDNEY: HOT HONEY MARGARITAS
More than a dozen of Newtown, Enmore and Camperdown’s favourite venues are putting their own spin on the sweet-meets-spicy serve this winter, thanks to Cazcabel Tequila
Forget mulled wine, Sydney’s cosiest winter drink of 2026 is a hot honey margarita.
Kicking off on World Tequila Day (July 24) Cazcabel Tequila is turning up the heat and partnering with Australian multi-award winning chilli condiment maker The Fermentalists and a lineup of Sydney Inner West venues to launch a limited-time Hot Honey Cocktail trail.
The collaboration brings together Cazcabel Honey Tequila, The Fermentalists’ locally-made Hot Honey and some of the Inner West’s best-loved bars and eateries, each creating their own take on the fiery winter serve.
At the heart of the collaboration is The Fermentalists’ Hot Honey, made with the rich heat of habaneros and the nutty depth of native wattle seed. Paired with the smooth sweetness of Cazcabel Honey Tequila and bright citrus, the result is a bold, warming cocktail that feels made for Sydney’s winter.
The activation comes as hot honey continues its move from pizza crusts and fried chicken now to the cocktail glass, with menu mentions increasing by 56% across Australian venues over the past 12 months. Now, Cazcabel and The Fermentalists are bringing the trend to life locally, giving cocktail lovers a reason to explore the Inner West one spicy serve at a time.
Rather than pouring the same cocktail across every bar, each participating venue will serve its own Hot Honey Cocktail interpretation, showcasing its individual style while heroing the campaign’s signature flavour combination of tequila, citrus, heat and honey.
Participating venues include:
- Astro's, Newtown
- Deus, Camperdown
- Famelia, Newtown
- Kelly's, Newtown
- Lu's Deli, Newtown
- Maiz, Newtown
- Marrickville Golf Club, Marrickville
- Palomino, Enmore
- Ravenspur, Newtown
- Run Dos Run, Newtown
- Stone Wall, Newtown
- The Duke of Enmore, Enmore
- Tokyo Taco, Newtown
- Websters Bar, Newtown
Jordan Young, Cazcabel’s Brand Ambassador, said: “World Tequila Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate tequila in a way that feels fresh, fun and very Sydney. By partnering with The Fermentalists and some of the Inner West’s most exciting venues, we’re showing how well Cazcabel Honey Tequila works with spice, citrus and local flavour.”
The collaboration will be available for a limited time throughout winter, giving cocktail lovers the chance to try the unique serves before they disappear from Sydney menus.
For those staying in, the Cazcabel Hot Honey Margarita is just as easy to recreate at home, proving that quality tequila, locally made hot honey and fresh citrus are all you need to bring one of winter’s biggest flavour trends into the glass.
