The El Diablo might not have the name recognition of a Margarita or Paloma, but this tequila classic deserves a spot in your cocktail rotation. First appearing in print as the Mexican El Diablo in Trader Vic’s Book of Food and Drink in 1946, the original combined tequila, crème de cassis, fresh lime and ginger ale.
Our version starts with reposado tequila for a little extra warmth and depth, balanced by tart lime, rich blackcurrant liqueur and spicy ginger beer. The result is bright, fruity and refreshing with just enough bite, and a gorgeous ruby-red color to match its devilish name.
Want to switch things up? Try swapping the ginger beer for ginger syrup and sparkling water, which lets you dial in the ginger spice and carbonation to your liking.
Shake the first three ingredients in a Hybrid Cocktail Shaker with ice for about 15 seconds.
Strain into an ice-filled Hybrid Rocks Glass.
Top with ginger beer and garnish with lime.
