El Diablo Cocktail
The tequila, rich red berry fruit, lime and ginger aren't exactly a subtle combination but it is one that has proved both popular and enduring

it's pleasant, of course.

Interesting - I think I used a little less ginger beer as I was using lowball glasses, but I quite liked how the spicy bite of the ginger played into the tequila, giving it almost a smoky sensation. I had to take a second to recall I did use tequila and not mezcal. Lime comes through, but the cassis flavor seems a mere accent - though it is likely also countering the tartness of the lime as well.

Love the drink with ginger beer but haven’t tried with ginger ale, but I think it’s probably better with G beer.

Enjoyable cocktail. I’m interested in trying it with mezcal next - I would anticipate it being a bit more complex.

I heartily second the use of mezcal in this cocktail--I call it the Smoky Devil (Diablo Ahumado? Diablo Humeante?).

You can have refreshing drinks. You can have strong liquor drinks. This is both. Wow.

I'm with TV that cassis=lime, otherwise it's overpowered.
I had 45\20\20 with mezcal topped with FeverTree Light Ginger ale.
The excellent ginger ale helps make it. mezcal
The mezcal stands out despite the oomph of the lime and the FeverTree. Amazing.
