A little sweet, a little tart, a little heat. This is great mixed with bourbon, or with lime seltzer as a refreshing non-alcoholic drink. It’s very unusual, and delicious!

Has become a staple in our household!
This stuff if amazing. Hot, sweet, and wonderful…has a delightful balance of sweet, sour, spicey-hot, and low whiskey base notes.

Delicious, versatile, a favorite
Wonderful flavor! We keep this one stocked at all times. The basic recipe is simple but feels complex and fancy, which makes it extra fun to serve them to friends.

Wonderful pantry addition; great with bourbon and mezcal!
I love me some Caged Heat. The bourbon cocktail is divine but the mezcal & lime version on the website is amazing! Introduced me to mezcal as a fine spirit. The smoky flavor is perfectly enhanced by CH. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is the perfect host/ess gift. I have open invitations to stay with many brown liquor lovers in the south.
