Recipe: The Jungle Bird Cocktail

         

  • The term "tiki drink" conjures images of a cocktail suitable only for an island oasis or for sipping while sinking your toes in the sand. With the Jungle Bird, no frilly accessories are necessary, and even the sunshine is optional. This throwback cocktail has layers of dark rum, Campari, pineapple and lime juice — it works in a weirdly wonderful way. Just grab a glass and some ice and you're halfway there.
          
  • I love the Jungle Bird because it's a taste of tiki without the fuss. Put out some bar nuts and mix yourself a bird for a tiki- inspired happy hour in no time.
