El Cielo
The first cocktails that comes to mind when talking about tequila cocktails would be margaritas and palomas. El Diablo is almost unknown in Turkiye, as I have experienced in my cocktail workshops. This cocktail, which emerged in the middle of the 20th century, is a mix of tequila, creme de cassis, lime juice and ginger ale. Considering these components, this mix can be considered as a twist to El Diablo with tequila, berry notes from Chambord and blackberry puree. The addition of roasted pineapple syrup adds smokiness and sweetness to the cocktail and you may choose between soda or ginger ale since the mix is rich enough in flavors.
