Equal parts sultry and sharp, Hot n’ Bothered is not your average cocktail—it’s a little sweet, a little briny, and just spicy enough to make you blush. This tequila-forward sipper brings together verjus, Cloud23 Sweet Jalapeño hot sauce, and a splash of pickle brine for a complex, balanced drink with a wink of heat. Garnished with a pickled pepper and olive, it’s the kind of cocktail that starts conversations—and maybe a little trouble.
