HOMEMADE ANCHO CHILI LIQUEUR
You will strat with whole dried Ancho peppers. About 2-3 should be enough to make a batch f 500 ml of liqueur
You will remove the seeds from the peppers and save them for later
Weight 25 gr of ancho pepper skin, cut them in small pieces and add them in a sealable glass jar
Add 300 ml of 63 overproof white Jamaican rum. I’m using Rum Fire
Close the jar and leave resting at room temperature for two weeks.
After two weeks, strain and because the peppers will have swallowed a little bit of rum, top up with new rum until you reach back 300ml
Add to this 175 ml of 2:1 syrup by weight
Pro tip, 2:1 syrup by weight is hard to dissolve so use either bain-marie or sous vide to help you dissolving the sugar without creating any evaporation
Bottle up and enjoy!

  1. For sure I'm gonna try this! but may I suggest a better name for your cocktail? Puta Madre
    (in spanish it is a bad word, but In Peru and Chile is the known name of a chili variety that gives you a spicy quick when you try it)

  2. Ancho peppers already ordered, now I'm waiting 😀
    Man, the Funky Panky seems so strong "on paper" xD Isn't that too much, unbalanced? 63% rum, 39% Fernet and probably around 40% liqueur? 😛

  3. Would you think that liquer could substitute something like Ancho Reyes (never tried the latter so I'm wondering)?

  4. The seeds are not the hot part of the chili. It's the part that the seeds are attached to in the center of the chili that has almost all of the capsaicin. I think the reason many people think it's the seeds that are hot is because when they remove the seeds they often remove this part too. But the seeds themselves don't contain much capsaicin.

  5. Looks amazing! Instead of making 2:1 simple syrup, couldnt you just add sugar and water directly and wait to use until sugar has dissolved?

  6. El botellero es hermoso! Yo he preparado el licor con tequila y pimiento jalapeño y está brutal. Tendré que probarlo con rum! 🍹

  7. brilliant! and you know just as much as i do that we dont get Ancho reyes chili liquor in canada or quebec 🙁 so thank you so much for the inspiration.

  8. Can we speed up the process with sous vide or the chili is too sensitive with the heat? Or maybe, even better, with ultrasound?

  9. Fantastic video (as per usual), a quick question though – is Rum Fire an important part of flavor profile? I'd like to mimic Ancho Reyes with my chili liqueur (not available here), so I was thinking about using relatively neutral rum (Havana 3YO) boosted to 63% ABV witn everclear. Have you tried this process with more neutral base spirit? Thanks!

  10. I can't find overproof rum here in Montreal. Would 43% abv white rum work to make the liqueur?

  11. At ~1:47 you mention 175mL of simple syrup, but adding it by weight. That is a misspeak, right? Its 175ml of 2:1 simple not 175g
