El Diablo

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Tequila reposado
  • 15 ml Crème de cassis
  • 15 ml Lime juice
  • 90 ml Ginger beer
  • Garnish Lime wedge

Preparation

  1. Shake tequila, cassis and lime with ice.
  2. Strain into a highball glass over ice. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Top with ginger beer.
  4. Garnish with lime wedge. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.

Origin Story

The El Diablo cocktail emerged in the mid-20th century, gaining popularity in the United States. It combines tequila with crème de cassis and lime juice, offering a unique twist on classic tequila drinks.
