Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur- 750ml

Description

Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur is a Mexican ancho chile liqueur with a rich balance of heat, smoke, sweetness, and warm spice. Made from ancho chiles, which are dried poblano peppers, it brings notes of dried fruit, cinnamon, cacao, tamarind, and gentle chile warmth. Bottled at 40% ABV, it adds structure and spice to tequila, rum, whiskey, and citrus cocktails.

Producer

Ancho Reyes is rooted in Puebla, Mexico, where homemade chile liqueurs known as menjurjes were popular in the 1920s around the city’s artistic and cantina culture. The brand pays tribute to those original recipes by using ancho chile as its signature ingredient. Its bold Mexican identity makes it one of the most recognizable spicy liqueurs in modern cocktail programs.

Cocktail Suggestions

Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur is a strong fit for a Spicy Margarita with tequila or mezcal and fresh lime juice. The liqueur adds smoky chile warmth and subtle sweetness, while the lime keeps the cocktail sharp, bright, and refreshing.

It also works well as a modifier in an Ancho Old Fashioned with bourbon or rye, bitters, and an orange twist. Used in place of part of the sweetener, Ancho Reyes adds dried chile, spice, and cocoa-like depth while keeping the cocktail spirit-forward and balanced.
