Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur is a one-of-a-kind Mexican spirit inspired by a 1920s recipe from Puebla, the birthplace of the iconic ancho chile. Crafted by macerating sun-dried ancho chiles in neutral cane spirit, this artisanal liqueur captures the smoky, spicy, and subtly sweet character of the chile while balancing it with a smooth, warming texture. Its deep amber color and layered flavor make it both distinctive and versatile, equally suited for sipping neat or elevating cocktails.
The ancho chile, a dried and matured poblano pepper, provides the backbone of this liqueur, imparting notes of warmth, earthiness, and gentle heat. Produced with meticulous attention to tradition, Ancho Reyes is a true expression of Mexican heritage, reflecting the flavors and cultural richness of Puebla. The brand has revived a nearly forgotten style of liqueur, presenting it to modern audiences with authenticity and artistry.
Ancho Reyes has become a favorite among bartenders and adventurous drinkers for its ability to transform classic cocktails with a spicy twist — whether used in Margaritas, Palomas, Old Fashioneds, or creative modern recipes. Its balance of sweetness and heat also makes it an excellent companion to coffee, chocolate, and even savory pairings.
Celebrated worldwide for its originality and quality, Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur is more than just a spirit — it is a cultural ambassador, honoring Mexican tradition while inspiring innovation behind the bar.
