Ancho Reyes Verde

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Ancho Reyes Verde offers a vibrant, fresh heat that instantly livens up any gathering, making it perfect for summer cocktails or spicy margaritas. With an ABV of 40%, this Mexican liqueur is crafted from handpicked poblano chiles harvested while still green, then fire-roasted and macerated to capture their crisp character. The result is a spirit that reflects the bold culinary traditions of Puebla, Mexico.

On the palate, Ancho Reyes Verde bursts with bright vegetal notes, hints of pineapple and subtle smoke layered over a gentle peppery warmth. Its lively flavors pair beautifully with grilled shrimp or ceviche, enhancing the seafood’s natural sweetness while adding depth through its herbal spice. The liqueur’s balance of heat and freshness makes it an ideal companion for dishes where citrus and charred flavors shine.
