| 1 | oz | Blanco tequila |
| 1⁄2 | oz | Lime juice (from 1/2 a lime) |
| 1⁄2 | oz | Cassis |
| 4 | oz | Ginger ale |
Instructions
In a Collins glass full of cracked ice, add the lime juice and shell, tequila and cassis. Stir. Top with ginger ale. Add a straw.
Notes
Drinking the Devil's Acre uses 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz lime juice (consistent with the lime juice and wedge), 3 oz ginger beer (rather than ginger ale) and 1/2 oz crème de cassis, which is floated on top.

From other users
- Make it 2 oz tequila & top w ginger beer (courtesy of Trader Vic)
- Top off with 2 oz ginger beer. Serve in Collins glass.
- Another variation: 2 oz Blanco tequila (look for siembra azul or ocho tequilas) 2 oz Ginger beer (fresh) 3⁄4 oz Lime juice 1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (2:1 simple syrup) 1⁄4 oz Cassis
- Works, but not that interesting to me.

Curated this - I have the 1968 version of Vic's book (which has a bunch of Texas recipes weirdly enough). Other sources have the tequila at 1.5 or even 2 ounces. Thanks, Zachary
