The Madison Avenue is a great rocks drink similar to the Mojito, but different. The creator of the drink was one Eddie Woeke who worked at the Weylin Bar around 1936. The bar was located in a hotel of the same name on Madison Avenue in New York City which was build in 1921. What this cocktail has to offer is a rum base with a hint of mint and orange and it is all served on the rocks. It's refreshing and overall a nicely balanced drink.
