Directions
El Diablo is an immortal drink, one of the most aromatic cocktails you can find around, as long as you like tequila.
El Diablo cocktail recipe is very simple and direct: tequila, fresh lime juice, creme de cassis and ginger beer.
The result is a cool, snappy, cheeky drink, in perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, with the aromatic touch of tequila in the background.
It seems that the origins of the cocktail date back to the 1940s, in the charming California that has just emerged from the great depression. All very interesting, but now it’s time to meet El Diablo, muchachos!
