Ingredients for Ancho Reyes Chile Poblano Liquor

Method

Preparation Directions for Ancho Reyes Chile Poblano Liquor

1

Prepare the Chiles

Roast the ancho and poblano chiles over an open flame or in a broiler until charred. Once charred, place them in a sealed plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skins and remove the seeds.

2

Infuse the Vodka

In a large glass jar, combine the roasted chiles, vodka, cacao nibs, cinnamon stick, and split vanilla bean. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks.

3

Strain the Mixture

After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the solids.

4

Sweeten the Liquor

Add the agave syrup and water to the strained liquid, stirring well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

5

Bottle and Enjoy

Transfer the final mixture into a clean bottle, seal it, and store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
