Cassis-Injected El Diablo

Cassis-Injected El Diablo

Autumn 2025

By: Victoria Walsh

This classic cocktail is an excellent choice for Halloween thanks to its name (meaning the devil in Spanish). Load up novelty syringes with the cassis liqueur then delight your guests by letting them inject it themselves into their own cocktail, creating an eerie effect.

 

Makes 8 cocktails

8 oz cassis liqueur
8 novelty syringes
8 oz tequila
32 oz ginger beer
1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly-squeezed lime juice

 

1. Pour cassis liqueur into a measuring cup. Dip end of syringe into cup and pull back the plunger until syringe is filled with 1 oz cassis. Set on a platter. Repeat with remaining cassis and syringes.

2. Fill tall glasses with ice. Pour 1 oz tequila into each glass. Top each with 4 oz ginger beer and 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice. Stir to mix. Serve to guests and let each person squirt the cassis into their own drink.
