History
El Diablo pairs tequila with vibrant red berry liqueur, lime, and spicy ginger beer in a bold, lively cocktail. First appearing in print in 1940, it evolved through mid-20th-century tiki culture with Trader Vic adapting it with tequila. This enduring cocktail balances sharp citrus and fruity sweetness with a spicy finish, capturing the essence of festive Mexican-inspired drinks.
