With its sunny colour and tropical fruity flavour and rum base, the Yellow Bird certainly evokes the Caribbean. Two rums and three fruit juices, but the...
Just reading that recipe makes me think "Tiki"! I mixed and shook up a Yellow Bird VERY much like the "variant" shown above, with this online recipe: 2 oz. white rum
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Galliano
3/4 oz. lime juice
and it was superbly balanced! Not too sweet at all, a sort of Rum Sour! Found that recipe when googling "cocktails to go with seafood." And, yes, it makes a great accompaniment to either an elaborate or very simple seafood dinner, lunch, or canape.
Just tried the 2oz rum, 1/2oz triple sec, 1/2oz Galliano, and 3/4oz lime recipe and was overly sour. Which leads me to wonder if your Galliano ‘L’Autentico’ or ‘Vanilla’? I also found 60ml of rum a tad boozy so settled at 1.5 rum, .5 tripe sec, .5 Galliano L'Autentico, and .5 lime juice.
Is a good tiki style cocktail, but not as sweet as many of tiki drinks. I did find it a bit sweet for my taste, and would make again, but increase the amount of lime juice to counteract some of the sweetness.
