Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Publano Spiced Liqueur 750ml
DescriptionExplore the bright, vegetal side of Mexican chiles with Ancho Reyes Verde, an innovative liqueur that captures the fresh, green character of poblano chiles. While the original Ancho Reyes celebrates the dried, smoky qualities of ancho chiles, Verde focuses on fresh fire-roasted poblanos, creating an entirely different flavor profile. This green expression offers a brighter, more herbaceous take on chile liqueur that opens new possibilities for cocktail creativity.
Vibrant green color immediately distinguishes this from its ancho sibling. The nose is fresh and inviting—roasted green chile aromas dominate, with notes of bell pepper, fresh herbs, and subtle smoke from fire-roasting. There's a garden-fresh quality, with hints of cilantro, lime zest, and green tomato adding complexity. On the palate, Verde delivers bright, vegetal flavors—the taste of freshly roasted poblanos is unmistakable, with initial green pepper sweetness giving way to gentle heat. Notes of herbs, citrus, and subtle char create a complex profile that's both refreshing and warming.
What distinguishes Ancho Reyes Verde is its celebration of fresh chile character. While many pepper liqueurs focus on dried chiles or extract heat, Verde captures the essence of fresh poblanos at their peak. The fire-roasting adds subtle smokiness without overwhelming the fresh chile flavor. This creates a liqueur that's brighter and more versatile than typical chile liqueurs, perfect for drinks that need vegetal complexity rather than sweet heat.
Exceptional in margaritas where it adds fresh chile character, perfect in gin cocktails for herbaceous complexity, or mixed with mezcal for authentic Mexican flavors. The bright profile makes it particularly good in summer cocktails. For those seeking chile flavor beyond simple heat, Ancho Reyes Verde offers a fresh perspective on Mexican chile liqueur.
