The El Diablo is a mid-century classic created by tiki legend Trader Vic in 1946

How to make ...

El Diablo

The El Diablo is the other, other tequila classic, often overshadowed by its more well-known cousins, the Margarita and the Paloma, the El Diablo is a mid-century classic created by tiki legend Trader Vic in 1946. A balanced, refreshing mixture of earthy tequila, tart lime, spicy ginger and sweet, fruity blackcurrant liqueur.

We’ve stuck to the classic recipe for this one, opting for spicier, more flavourful ginger beer over ginger ale which is preferred in some iterations.

Method

Using your jigger to measure, add the tequila and crème de cassis to your Boston glass or the bottom half of your shaker

Using your elbow press, squeeze the juice of half a lime (roughly 15ml) into your shaker

Fill with cubed ice and seal

Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds

Using your Hawthorn strainer, strain into a tall glass

Fill glass with fresh cubed ice

Top up with ginger beer

Garnish with a couple of lime wheels

Serve and enjoy
