Ancho Problem

Ezra Star | Boston

Spicy tequila cocktail recipe

At Boston’s Drink, a menu-less bar that specializes in on-the-fly bartender’s choice drinks, one of the most common refrains heard at the bar is “I’d like something spicy with tequila.” Ezra Star’s go-to cocktail is this chile-spiked Ancho Problem, which gets its heat from Ancho Reyes chile liqueur and astringent blanco tequila.
