Скачать или смотреть The Mexican El Diablo from Trader Vic - Tiki Tuesday and Fall of Fizz LIVE!!!

The Mexican El Diablo cocktail is a classic tequila-based drink that combines sweet, tart, and spicy flavors. Its origins date back to the mid-20th century, and it's often credited to the tiki and tropical cocktail culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Here's a breakdown of its history:

Origin
The recipe first appeared in print in Trader Vic’s Bartender’s Guide (1946 edition). Trader Vic (Victor Jules Bergeron Jr.) was a pioneer in tiki culture, and the cocktail was likely created or popularized in one of his famous establishments.
Initially named simply the "El Diablo," it was one of the earliest tequila cocktails to gain widespread attention in the United States, at a time when tequila was not as widely used as spirits like rum or whiskey.
Ingredients
The classic El Diablo recipe consists of:

Tequila (often reposado for added depth),
Crème de Cassis (a blackcurrant liqueur),
Lime juice, and
Ginger beer or ginger ale.
This combination makes it one of the few tequila cocktails that prominently features a fruity liqueur (crème de cassis) alongside a spicy mixer (ginger beer).

Cultural Significance
The cocktail showcases tequila's versatility and helped pave the way for tequila's prominence in the global cocktail scene. Its mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy notes also mirrors the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine, even though the drink itself was likely crafted outside Mexico.

Modern Revival
In recent years, the El Diablo has seen a resurgence thanks to the craft cocktail movement. Modern bartenders sometimes adapt the recipe, using artisanal ginger beer, mezcal instead of tequila for a smoky twist, or swapping crème de cassis for other berry liqueurs.

Its evocative name, "El Diablo," and vibrant appearance (a ruby-red hue thanks to the cassis) make it a striking and memorable addition to any cocktail menu.
