Ancho Reyes Chile Ancho Liqueur (750Ml)

Ancho Reyes Chile Ancho Liqueur comes from Puebla, Mexico. It follows a recipe that dates back to 1927. The process starts with ancho chiles picked by hand when they are fully ripe. They dry in the sun for 15 to 20 days and are turned by hand along the way. Then they soak in a neutral cane spirit for about six months. Every bottle is filled and labeled by hand.

Lift the glass and dried chile spice reaches you first. Cinnamon and dark cocoa sit right behind it. The first sip feels sweet and warm. Then the chile heat builds, wrapped in cinnamon and rich chocolate. It closes with a smoky sweetness and a slow, lingering warmth.

At 40% ABV, this is a spirited liqueur, so a small pour goes a long way. Sip it neat to taste the chile clearly. Or add a splash to a Margarita, a Paloma or a Mexican Mule. It also gives a smoky Old Fashioned a gentle kick.

Food loves it too. Try it next to dark chocolate, smoked nuts or tacos al pastor. The heat and sweetness play well with grilled meats.

If you like a bold flavor liqueur, this bottle has earned a spot on your shelf. It suits home bartenders, cocktail lovers and anyone who enjoys a little fire in a drink.
