Jungle Bird
Bittersweet and fruity with pungent rum notes, sipped through crushed ice. Properly Tiki-tastic

Definitely needs a darker rum. Tried this with a Flor de Cana reserva and Curzan Black Strap and it is significantly much more interesting with the Curzan.

This one can definitely handle some added bubbly, for even more summer. We went with 30ml prosecco. In a Collins glass. And we used a lychee for the garnish...the cherry seemed out of place.

Have made and enjoyed this several times with Bacardi Black and Plantation Dark. Was even better with Myers's! Thanks Simon for a fantastic resource over the years. Well worth a few coins.

It's literally a labour of love. Many thanks for your support, Calvin.

So, since now, i cannot leave my own personal notes on cocktail, visible only by me? I have to pay for such a thing? Seriously!?

Using the “personalise” button below every cocktail and brand (beers, wines & spirits), Premium members can add notes to cocktails and brands which are only viewable to them whenever they return to that cocktail or brand. Anyone who made such a personal note before the introduction of Premium (on 27.Aug.24) will still be able to read their existing notes but will not be able to make new notes. Members who have not joined Premium can still leave public comments, and such comments can be useful for other members of the community, so we are keen to encourage their use. However, private notes can only be seen by, and so are only of use to individual members; hence, private notes are one of the many benefits we reserve for Premium members. Premium membership costs less than £1 per week (US$1.04 / EUR€0.98 / AU$1.50) and will help cover the cost of developing and maintaining such functionality.

I really enjoyed the pineapple-Campari contrast. I believe using freshly squeezed pineapple juice is a must on order to balance the bitterness.

Tasty, but on the bitter side. To make something that's more balanced for the Tiki palette I've found that swapping the Campari for Select and using brown sugar syrup instead works wonders.

I do this with 2 shots rum, 3/4 shot Campari, 2 shots pineapple juice, ½ shot lime juice and ½ simple syrup. A bit smoother and moreish than other jungle bird recipes I've tried.

Great, but I liked an extra half shot of navy rum otherwise it is very diluted.
