Process & Production

Ancho Reyes Licor de Chile Poblano is handcrafted in Puebla, Mexico using sun-dried ancho poblano peppers, a cherished ingredient in traditional Mexican cuisine.

The infusion is then blended with additional natural ingredients to create a beautifully balanced liqueur that captures the complexity of roasted chile without overwhelming heat.

Inspired by a family recipe dating back to the 1920s, every bottle reflects traditional craftsmanship and authentic Mexican heritage.
