About The Jungle Bird
The Jungle Bird is a tropical cocktail with a sophisticated twist, blending the richness of black rum with the bold bitterness of Campari. Balanced by pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and a touch of demerara syrup, this drink offers a unique harmony of sweet, bitter, and tart flavors. Originally created in the 1970s at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton, the Jungle Bird stands out in the tiki world for its use of a bitter aperitif, giving it depth and complexity beneath its fruity surface. Served over ice and garnished with tropical flair, it’s a modern classic that delights both adventurous palates and tiki lovers alike.
