The Jungle Bird cocktail is a delightful and exotic creation that perfectly balances the sweetness of tropical fruit with the boldness of dark rum. Originating in the 1970s, this cocktail typically combines dark rum, Campari, fresh pineapple juice, and lime juice.
The result is a symphony of flavors: the rich, molasses-like notes of the rum are offset by the bittersweet depth of Campari, while the pineapple and lime juices bring a refreshing, fruity brightness to the mix.
Served over ice and often garnished with a pineapple slice and a cherry, the Jungle Bird is not only a delicious tropical escape in a glass but also a nod to the tiki cocktail revival, offering a tantalising and balanced taste experience.
