What is an El Diablo cocktail?

An El Diablo cocktail is a vintage cocktail made with tequila, creme de cassis, lime juice, and ginger beer!

It’s a simple cocktail that packs a PUNCH in the flavor department and is great for a crowd.

How do I make an El Diablo cocktail?

You only need a few simple ingredients to throw together this delicious cocktail.

• Tequila – I like to use a classic white tequila that blends with all the other flavors.
• Creme de cassis – A tart liqueur made from blackcurrants.
• Lime juice – Brings a fresh and sour flavor.
• Ginger beer – Effervescent with a hint of spice.

All you need to do is mix everything together except the ginger beer. Keep cold and add the ginger beer right before serving.

What is creme de cassis?

Creme de cassis is a liqueur made with blackcurrants.

It’s tart with just a hint of sweetness.

It can typically be found in most liquor stores but always ask if you don’t see it on the shelf.

Can I use Chambord instead?

Yes, BUT the flavor will be slightly changed.

Chambord is made with blackcurrants but it also throws in blackberries and raspberries.

So you’ll get a bit more berry flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Still delicious and possibly easier to find than creme de cassis.

Can I make this cocktail in advance?

Yes!

But you’ll want to wait to add the ginger beer until right before you’re ready to serve it.

This helps keep the bubbles in the cocktail. If you add it too early it can go flat.

How do I store this drink?

You’ll want to keep this drink cold so I like to keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.

I usually pour it over ice with a few fresh lime slices.
