Ancho Reyes Cocktail Recipe

Forgo the typical margarita. Instead, punch things up with a tequila-based old-fashioned. This version packs some spicy heat thanks to the ever-lovely, ever-delicious Ancho Chile Reyes Poblano Liqueur.

Ingredients

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Ancho Chile Reyes
.25 oz rich simple syrup
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
2 dashes Angostura Orange Bitters
Orange peel
Lemon peel (optional)

Method

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir for 30 seconds to chill. Strain into a double old-fashioned glass over (ideally) a large format ice cube. Garnish with orange peel (and lemon, if using) by first expressing oils into the glass, then rubbing the rim with the peels.
