What cocktails include crème de cassis and tequila?

Cocktail Colin says:
It looks like you're interested in cocktails combining the rich berry flavor of crème de cassis with the robust notes of tequila. Based on the information given, here are a couple of excellent options that you might find particularly enjoyable.
First up is the El Diablo, which boasts a captivating blend of lime juice, ginger beer, crème de cassis, and tequila. This cocktail, typically served in a highball glass, is refreshing with a spicy kick from the ginger beer. The tartness of the lime juice balances beautifully with the sweetness of the crème de cassis, creating a vivid and complex flavor profile. If you're looking for a drink that tickles the palate with both sweet and spicy notes, El Diablo is a fantastic choice.
Another intriguing option is the Palpatini. This cocktail offers an adventurous mix, combining tequila, crème de cassis, and vodka. Served in a lowball glass, the Palpatini is stirred rather than shaken, enhancing the robust flavors of the spirits involved. This drink is for those with a bold palate who appreciate a potent, spirit-forward cocktail with a touch of berry sweetness.
Both cocktails offer a unique and delicious way to enjoy the combination of crème de cassis and tequila, each with its distinct character and flavor profile.
