History & Origin

Born out of the neon-lit nightlife revival of the 2010s, the Electric Circus pays homage to the legendary New York City nightclub of the same name, celebrated for its psychedelic atmosphere and wild creativity. Inspired by the club's electric energy and avant-garde style, modern bartenders crafted this cocktail to capture the same sense of vibrant fun, using bold colors and playful flavors to evoke the spirit of the dancefloor.

Garnish

Garnish with a lemon wheel and a neon cocktail pick or glow stick. The lemon wheel adds citrus aroma, while the glow stick amps up the electric vibe.
