Tequila Diablo Rojo Recipe

What Else Can We Say About the Tequila Diablo Rojo

This Red Devil is seriously one tasty cocktail! You’d think that Ginger Beer and Tequila wouldn’t go well together, but it’s a surprisingly good combination. Perhaps it’s the Lime Juice and Crème de Cassis that cuts down on some of the heat from the Ginger aspect of the Ginger Beer. The Tequila taste very much comes through, but there is some subtly there thanks to some other bolder flavours. There’s a complexity to this cocktail, and it’s quite welcome!

Does making a few of these cocktails at once still work?

Even though you’re supposed to build the Tequila Diablo Rojo in the glass, it should also work if you stir the initial Tequila Blanco, Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup together in a mixing glass. Here you can increase the ingredients to make a bigger batch. Don’t add the Ginger Beer or Crème de Cassis until you’re ready to serve though.

Is it OK to make the Tequila Diablo Rojo beforehand?

If you just mix everything except the Ginger Beer and Crème de Cassis, it should OK to sit until you’re ready to serve it. From there, just add the final two ingredients and enjoy your cocktail!

Is there a good time to try a Tequila Diablo Rojo

If you’ve taken a look at any of our other cocktail recipes, you may note a bit of a theme when it comes to long drinks like this: they’re perfect for warm afternoons or as a refreshment after doing physical labour.

Although some of the fruitier aspects of this recipe make it seem like it’s not going to be the best drink to go with food, but the Ginger Beer makes it go well with traditionally barbequed foods like hamburgers, hotdogs/sausages, and the like. If you’re having a barbeque at home, consider one of these over something like a Tom Collins, which is also a great summer barbeque drink!

We also often like a long drink in the late afternoon. It’s a summertime feeling as things are starting to cool down for the day. Get yourself refreshed and relaxed, have a burger and enjoy!

Is the Tequila Diablo Rojo a strong cocktail?

Despite the name (the Red Devil), the strength of this cocktail is relatively average. Looking at other long drinks (and many other cocktails for that matter), it has the same amount of spirit to it as others. With the amount of Lime Juice and Ginger Beer in the drink as well, it’s relatively diluted meaning the total ABV of it is going to be relatively low. We haven’t done the math on this (as different brands of Tequila will have different strengths), but you’re probably going to come in on the strength of a stronger beer. This is just a vague estimate though.

Is there a type of music that goes well with the Tequila Diablo Rojo?

Shall we double down on the summer barbeque thing? So often we push Tequila drinks into some sort of Mexican category, but, despite the name being Spanish, it’s doesn’t fit neatly into the “Mexican cocktail” category. So we’re not to do anything cliched here!

What sort of music do you like to play at a barbeque? We think this would very much depend on the type of music you’re usually into!

So, on further thought, we’re not going to give a specific type of music here. We’re going to let you put on the tunes you like and enjoy this cocktail that way. Enjoy!
