How to Make the Jungle Bird

The Jungle Bird is a tropical cocktail with a twist. Created in Kuala Lumpur in the 1970s, it combines rum, pineapple, and Campari for a balance of sweet and bitter.

It stands out from other tropical drinks thanks to that slightly bitter edge, which gives it more depth and complexity.

Why Lush Life Loves It

This is one I always come back to when I want something a little different. It has all the fun of a tropical drink but with just enough bitterness to keep it interesting.
