History

The Canadian Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail, created by Giancarlo Quiroz Jesus at The Diamond in Vancouver.

El Ritmo represents the rhythm and soul of the Bacardi family. This cocktail seeks inspiration from the feeling and culture of Central and South America. With tropical notes of pineapple, coconut and lime, it pays homage to the Puerto Rican classic: Piña Colada.
Giancarlo Quiroz Jesus, 2016

Review

Pineapple juice, lime, and coconut cream give this Legacy-winning cocktail a hint of tiki but can somewhat mask the rum, particularly when made with a charcoal-filtered light white rum, such as Bacardi Carta Blanca, as originally. Hence, a more characterful 'gold' light rum is recommended.

Didn't have all the ingredients and my crew likes sweeter drinks, so subbed lime juice and rum as follows:

Lemon juice for lime juice
Instead of 10 oz rum, 8 oz coconut vodka and 2 oz Stroh rum

Was a big hit and definitely tropical/sweet.

I tried it with probitas rum and it was tasty enough I made it twice in a row.

Blandly tropical and moderately bitter. Maybe a flavored or slightly more characterful rum would give this some personality. (20 Nov 2022, 6:18a)
