  • 1/4 tsp. pure ancho chile powder
  • 4 fl. oz. bourbon
  • 1-1/2 fl. oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 fl. oz. Triple Sec
  • 1/2 fl. oz.ancho chile syrup
  • 2 strips orange zest

    Interesting drink. It has depth and dimension. Very drinkable. Wife's initial response was, "Ummm! That's GOOD!" The only change I made was using the orange to moisten the rim before dipping in sugar. I'm sipping on it as I write this, and gotta admit ... it is really growing on me. I think this one is a keeper.

    Spectacular, but beware: you can't have just one! The ancho chile powder and sugar mixture around the rim of the glass adds a woodsy-warm flavor. Anchos taste mild,earthy and complex--not hot-spicy. This drink, even made with Whiskey, is spectacular with its beautiful warm rusty color.
