Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 1/2 ounce Patron Silver tequila; 1 ounce fresh lime juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 ounce creme de cassis; 3 ounces of ginger beer; lime wedge; lime wheel to garnish

The El Diablo cocktail is an easy-to-mix tequila drink with a vibrant and refreshing flavor that is perfect for a warm summer evening.

The drink is made with crème de cassis, tequila, and ginger beer. It is flavored and garnished with lime.

For this cocktail, you will want to use good tequila. Go for a tequila reposado such as Patron silver.

Since you’ll be sipping on the drink, you want something flavorful, but not so pricey that you feel it is wasted in a mixed drink.

What is crème de cassis

Crème de cassis (pronounced creme dai kah sees) is also known as Cassis liqueur. It is a dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants that are crushed and then soaked in alcohol, with added sugar.

Several cocktails use crème de cassis and it is also often served as an after dinner liqueur.

El Diablo flavor profile

The flavor of this classic El Diablo cocktail is citrusy and floral. Crème de cassis takes a bit of the bite out of the Ginger beer, and compliments the Patron silver tequila beautifully.

Cocktail type – classic
How to serve – over ice in a highball glass, or in a copper mug for a more casual experience

I love to make Patron silver mixed drinks, such as a Silver Breeze or Paloma cocktail. Today it is El Diablo’s turn to take center stage.

The flavor of the El Diablo has some sweetness, but is rich and spicier than a margarita.
