Tequila · COCKTAIL GUIDE

El Diablo

With Tacos, El Diablo has enough fruity, spicy and citrus to hold its place beside food. It carries a lean, light body and feels moderate in strength. Compared with Siesta, it leans toward a different balance. It rewards attention to the change from the first flavour to the finish, not only the headline ingredients. For context, its listed food matches begin with Tacos and BBQ, and its related-drink path leads to Siesta.
