El Diablo

Tequila and lime are joined by blackcurrant liqueur, then lengthened with ginger beer. The cassis contributes both sweetness and color, while keeping the sparkling mixer out of the shaker preserves its carbonation.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 45 ml Blanco tequila, 100% agave
• 22 ml Fresh lime juice
• 15 ml Crème de cassis blackcurrant liqueur
• 90 ml Ginger beer, non-alcoholic
• 1 piece Lime slice or wedge, for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine the blanco tequila, 100% agave, fresh lime juice and crème de cassis blackcurrant liqueur in a shaker, then fill it with cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Strain into a chilled highball over fresh ice.
4. Pour in the ginger beer, non-alcoholic slowly and mix with one gentle lift of a spoon.
5. Finish with a lime wedge and serve promptly.
