Jungle Bird Cocktail
Campari adds a savory and sophisticated twist to a Tiki bar rum, lime and pineapple drink that would otherwise be overly sweet. When I serve this the usual reaction by my guests is “this is a GREAT cocktail.”

Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ounces dark, spiced or black strap rum
- 1 1/2 – 2 ounces Campari
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 1/2 ounces lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- Edible flower (optional)
- Pineapple leaf (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker three quarters of the way up with ice. Add all the liquid ingredients and shake for about 10 seconds until the shaker is cover with condensation.
- Pour into prepared glasses and garnish with an edible flower and a pineapple leaf.
Notes
- If serving straight up I like to dip martini glasses in water and chill in freezer 20 minutes before mixing drink.
- If serving on the rocks, I use a highball glass with one large ice cube.
- Dial up the bitter and take down the sweet by adding more Campari and or reducing or eliminating the simple sugar.
