Ancho Reyes Verde is crafted by macerating fresh, green poblano chiles in a sugar cane spirit for six months, capturing the vibrant, herbaceous essence of the peppers at their peak ripeness. This unique process results in a liqueur that balances the fresh, vegetal notes of poblanos with a subtle spiciness, creating a versatile spirit that adds a distinctive Mexican twist to cocktails.

Ancho Reyes Verde is made from fresh, green poblano peppers harvested at the precise moment before they ripen and turn red, capturing a unique vegetal spiciness that's distinctly different from its red counterpart.

The liqueur's recipe is inspired by a 1920s Puebla cantina concoction called "menjurje," a homemade spicy green chile drink that was popular among local artists and intellectuals.

Despite its fiery green color, Ancho Reyes Verde isn't overwhelmingly spicy—it has a Scoville rating of only about 1,000 to 1,500 units, making it milder than a jalapeño and allowing its complex herbal notes to shine through.
