Ancho Reyes

Ancho Reyes is a unique Mexican liqueur infused with ancho peppers—the dried version of ripe poblano chile peppers. The recipe is based on traditional Puebla liqueurs (menjurjes) that date from the 1920s. The entire process is handcrafted, and it includes the selection of only finest peppers which are dried, then scissor-cut, and left to macerate in cane spirit sourced from Veracruz.

After maceration, the spirit is blended and then aged until it attains its spicy and smoky flavors and aromas. The original version of the liqueur is made with ripe red peppers, while the newer version Ancho Reyes Verde is made with earlier harvested, mashed green peppers.

Ancho Reyes can be enjoyed neat, but it is also commonly added to cocktails. Both versions are bottled at 40% ABV.
