Origins
The diabolo drink appeared before 1920, and became popular in France in the 1920s. The drink was around that time described as a mixture of a lemonade and a 'very light tincture of liqueur', a lemonade and a cassis liquor, or a lemonade and a syrup.
Translation in other languages
Diabolo has no equivalent in Italian, but a lemonade mixed with different syrups can approximately be translated as a gassosa.
Variants
A diabolo flamand is a cocktail composed of jenever, lemonade and often a violet syrup.
