Ancho Reyes is a brand of chile liqueur produced in Puebla City, Mexico, based on a 1927 recipe from the same city.
[1] The liqueur is made from and named after Puebla's renowned ancho chiles, a dried form of ripe poblano peppers.
The liqueur is produced using late harvest chiles that have sun-dried for 2 to 3 weeks.
[3] For the Verde version of the drink, early harvested fire-roasted poblano chiles are used in addition to the sun-dried chiles.
[3] Both the red and green liqueurs are 40% ABV and are popular for adding a bit of spice to classic drinks like a margarita or a Paloma.
