The Ancho Problem leads with warm, dried chile heat from the Ancho Reyes, which melds with the bright, vegetal snap of blanco tequila. Lime and demerara bring balance—citrus sharpening the edges while the syrup's molasses depth softens the spice into something almost smoky. It drinks like a stripped-down margarita with a slow, lingering burn.
