A diabolo is a non-alcoholic mixed drink available in most restaurants and bars in France. It consists of a common lemon soda mixed with syrup. Popular flavours include mint (Diabolo Menthe), strawberry, lemon or grenadine.[1][2]

The diabolo drink appeared before 1920,[3] and became popular in France in the 1920s. The drink was around that time described as a mixture of a lemon soda and a 'very light tincture of liqueur',[4] a lemonade and a cassis liquor,[5] or a lemon-lime soda and a syrup.

Translation in other languages

Diabolo has no equivalent in Italian, but a lemon soda mixed with different syrups can approximately be translated as a gassosa [it].[6]

Variants

A diabolo flamand is a cocktail composed of jenever, lemon soda and often a violet syrup, it can often be very sweet.[7]
