This is the worlds first liqueur crafted from ancestral Pasilla Mixe chilesa rare chile prized for its meaty smokiness and approachable, but assertive, heat. Grown and smoke-dried by the indigenous people of Sierra Mixe using traditional methods, each chile is cleaned, inspected, and cut by hand to ensure only the most robust fruit is used. A full-proof, minimally sweetened liqueur that can be used to modify your cocktails, split the base spirit, or replace your base spirit entirely, Alma Tepec ventures beyond the obvious (and delicious) agave and sotol pairings: try it in a Bees Knees or a simple Chelada.
