El Diablo Con Limón (Tequila Punch With Cassis And Lemon) Recipe
- 10 lemons
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (210g) sugar
- 8 ounces (240ml) brewed black tea, cooled
- 20 ounces (590ml) silver tequila, such as Cabeza
- 4 1/2 ounces (135ml) creme de cassis, such as Giffard Cassis Noir De Bourgogne
- 51 ounces (1 1/2 liters) chilled seltzer or club soda
- Bring lemons to room temperature, then roll firmly against the counter to soften their rinds. Halve and juice; pour juice into a sealable container and refrigerate. Cut rinds into 1-inch chunks. Toss with sugar in a large nonreactive mixing bowl, cover tightly with plastic, and let stand at room temperature, stirring every 20 minutes or so to redistribute sugar, for 1 hour.
- Add tea and 13 ounces of reserved lemon juice to mixing bowl. Stir, then strain through a nonreactive fine-mesh strainer or piece of cheesecloth into a glass or ceramic pitcher or punch bowl. Stir in tequila and creme de cassis. At this point, the mixture can be covered and refrigerated up to 10 hours.
- When ready to serve, stir well, then add seltzer or club soda. Serve in ice-filled glasses, stirring to dilute slightly.
