Combine the honey, water, and jalapeño slices in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the jalapeño steep for 5 minutes, then strain out the slices through a fine-mesh strainer. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using.

If rimming the glasses, spread a thin layer of flaky sea salt on a small flat plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each rocks glass, then press the rim into the salt to coat. Fill each glass with ice.
