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.

We substituted Peychaud's Apertivo for the Strucchi's and it was delightful! Very balanced and the pineapple taste really came through. Best Jungle Bird cocktail I've ever had!

I made a pitcher of this for party guests recently. They loved it so much that there was a chorus of "more please!". But the rum bottle was now empty. So I went 'eeny meeny miny mo' and landed on a bottle of Jim Beam yellow label rye, which I substituted for the rum. And to try to bring a whisper of the rum back into the cocktail, I added two drops of ginger bitters. "What's it called? was the call from my guests. As you may have already guessed, and so was born the "Jungle Jim".

As another DD noted, I think I prefer cubed ice over crushed in this instance to get more flavour spread on the palate. Excellent cocktail!

Do yourself a huge favor and add 15ml falernum syrup. bitters and falernum balance each other out wondefully.

I exchanged the Campari for Strega, also works quite nicely. Altough I toned it down to 10ml.

Im doing it Like this:

4CL Plantation Isle of Fiji
2CL Campari
5CL Pineapple Juice
1,75CL Lime Juice
1,75CL Agave Syrup

I use normal ICE cubes or one big ice Block instead of crushed Ice.

Definitely in my top 5, Love this one
