Classic, meet vibrant. Your first stop must be the Spicy Verde Margarita, a verdant twist on the timeless classic, injecting an exciting heat and herb focus that pairs incredibly well with the liqueur’s natural attributes.

Production Notes

The Ancho Reyes Verde’s quality begins with its impeccable and authentic ingredients. Poblano chilies, native to Puebla, Mexico, are cultivated in the region’s fertile, volcanic-enriched soils. The chilies are hand-picked, some fire-roasted, to provide that delicate smoke and tropical zest. These fresh and fire-roasted chilies are crushed and steeped in small vats of neutral cane spirit. It takes six long months for the Maestro Maceradora (Master Blender) to hand-blend this chile flavor-infused liqueur, ensuring quality, flavor, and just the right amount of spice. A final rest allows the flavors to marry before the liqueur is bottled, each one hand-labeled in the traditional manner, sealing both taste and heritage in each 750ml, 80 proof bottle.
