History

Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Conor Myers at The Exchequer in Dublin, Ireland.

I wanted to create a drink that looked loud and fun, was efficient, low cost with a low alc./vol. and could potentially be a permanent fixture at Bacardí's festival circuit. I wanted to bring two subcultures closer together; Bacardí has always been a massive part of the whole underground music scene. 'Electric Avenue' represents all that is fun, large crowds and big venues – it pairs perfectly with loud thumping music and underground culture.
Conor Myers, 2017

Review

Very fruity with pineapple and citrusy rum sipped through port wine. A refreshing, easy-drinking crowd-pleaser.

Many thanks for your reply. As I said a good cocktail and worth saving

Nice drink, found it hard to float the port, but both myself and my wife like it. Will have to try it on a rum/port loving friend of ours

I made the new cocktail photographed above with a ruby port float. I didn't find it hard to float.

It's a really simple yet really good one, very well balanced and a great crowd pleaser

Only had White Bacardi and 10yo tawny port but it was still pretty good!
