Ancho Verde Gimlet

Rum, Amaro and Ginger make a house call in this delicious Hot Toddy.

The Old Fashioned is the *original cocktail*, and dates back as far as the late 1700's. In fact, it's first mention is in 1798 in the London paper "Morning Post and Gazetteer" pre-dates the use of the word "cock-tail" in 1806 in "The Balance and Columbian Repository", which defined the drink as "composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters...". The classic has endured today because of its special ability to unlock the subtle and unique flavors of all types of spirits. The drink is delicious, easy to make, and open to adaptation, which has made it a favorite for guests and bartenders for over 200 years.⁠

Bolstering the spice in the ginger beer is this renowned refresher, the Ancho Reyes intermingles beautifully with the ginger and effervescence in this long drink to deliver a small punch of heat and big splash of flavor.

This classic gets kicked up with the sultry, smoky flavors from Montelobos® Mezcal Espadín, and Ancho Reyes® Original chile liqueur made from sundried poblano peppers.

Try this Hot Toddy recipe out with any aged spirit. It works great with Bourbon or Scotch, but we also love it with Reposado Tequila.
