El Diablo Cocktail

I’ve never been able to do shots (well unless they were of the jello variety). I just can’t. I have to sip them and well that’s just embarrassing (it’s okay I know it) so I avoid the inevitable mocking and bright red face by running away from them like they were the plague. Cocktails now are another story. I prefer those that pack a little punch and are on the fruity side.

What can I say. I like them and especially those with tequila. Tequila kinda has a reputation of sorts. There are odes to it all across the airwaves. Kenny Chesney’s- “you and TEQUILA make me crazy” (it’s true) and Joe Nichols “tequila makes her clothes come off” (ehem not going there) are just a few of my favorites that reference that clear concoction.

I have quite an eclectic taste when it comes to music. If you were to peak over my shoulder and grab a glance at my music app you’d see everything from Joss Stone to Gavin DeGraw to Mariah Carey (“Synchronized lady dancing to a Mariah Carey chart-topper is not lame”) to Lady Antebellum to Brantley Gilbert and pretty much the rest of the country countdown lineup.

Yes I happen to be a HUGE country music fan. Probably not a shocker to most of you.

This summer I’ll be picking up tickets to see Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean live. I might explode I’m so excited. I will probably need a new pair of boots before I go too. It’s completely (un)reasonable I know but any excuse for a new pair of cowboy boots eh? Not that I need much encouragement to push me right out the door to the boot store or to sip on a summer sipper such as this El Diablo.

Cheers to that.

    I sip shots, too! I thought I was the only one! There’s a pic of me at a wedding with a straw in my shot glass. Now that’s embarrassing! Love this drink recipe πŸ™‚

    Waaay way back in the day I could do the shots. Now I run away if anyone tries to suggest doing some. I’ll pay for it the next day. I’d rather sip on this.

    Any cocktail with ginger beer has my name written all over it. This looks (and sounds) yummy!

    This looks wonderful! I can’t do shots either…unless I’m already tipsy then sometimes I’ll do one or two but I can not… I repeat CAN NOT do jello shots haha. OO and I’m so jealous of you going to see Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean!

  14. Stephanie @ Back For Seconds says

    06/19/2014 at 12:30 pm

    I’ve never sipped a shot…these, I would drink slowly to savor the flavor. Sounds so yum!

  15. Angela {Mind Over Batter} says

    06/19/2014 at 12:47 pm

    I’m not a shot chick either. Never have been. I’m more of a slow sipper, and this looks like a perfect cocktail for sipping!

  16. Matt Robinson says

    06/19/2014 at 1:26 pm

    My kind of drink without a doubt, love it!

    I also sip shots. I didn’t use to but I’m old now. This looks dangerous!

    Looks great, Paula! I could make a large pitcher of this for my next book club meeting!

    Squee, this is perfect. I love country music by the way. Saw Toby Keith in concert, along with a bunch of other dudes.

    06/20/2014 at 10:01 am

    Ha! I’m the complete opposite when it comes to shots and jello shots. I love tequila… well, back in my college days that is. But if I had this in front of me today, I would probably chug it down. It looks amazing!

  23. Nutmeg Nanny says

    06/20/2014 at 11:15 am

    Yeah, I could sip on this alllllll daaaayyyyy looooooong πŸ™‚

    So jealous that you are seeing Eric Church but I will just take one or two of these cocktails!

    Just got a new pair of boots myself! Think I’ll break ’em in with this drink on the front porch and crank some Miranda. Looks lush!
