Jungle Bird

Name: Jungle Bird
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Dark Rum (Blackstrap rum is traditionally used for its rich molasses profile); 0.75 oz Campari; 1.5 oz Pineapple Juice (Fresh juice creates a better froth); 0.5 oz Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed); 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1 ratio)

The Jungle Bird is a sophisticated Tiki classic that masterfully balances the tropical sweetness of pineapple and dark rum with the bold bitterness of Campari. Unlike many other tropical drinks, its complex and slightly bitter edge makes it an enduring favorite for modern palates.
