Jungle Bird

The Jungle Bird is a tiki cocktail made with dark rum, Campari, simple syrup, pineapple juice, and lime juice,[1] and garnished with a pineapple wedge (cut to resemble a bird's plumage), pineapple leaves, and a maraschino cherry.[2] The New York Times notes that it is "a natural for home bartenders, because it contains only five ingredients".[3] It was originally served in a ceramic bird container or a chilled hurricane glass.[4]

Punch notes, "While not a usual suspect in many tiki drinks, Campari lends itself well to the modern American palate, which has adapted a hankering for all things bitter and boozy (case in point: the Negroni craze)."[5] The Spruce Eats notes, "Usually reserved for dry dinner drinks like the Negroni, the bitter aperitif works surprisingly well in this mix".[2]

According to one account, the Jungle Bird was created in 1978 at the Aviary bar of the Kuala Lumpur Hilton,[6] where it was served as a welcome drink.

Variants

New York bartender Giuseppe Gonzalez created a version that replaces dark Jamaica rum with the more intense blackstrap rum.[3] The Aviary is a variant that uses tequila Cimarrón. The Jungle Peacock, a mix of white rum, Malibu rum, red wine, Midori, Campari, pineapple juice, lime juice, and sugar, adds more alcohol.[7]
