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.[2]

The company produces two types of chile liqueur: the original, red Ancho Reyes liqueur and the newer, green Ancho Reyes Verde liqueur. 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.
