Jungle Bird

Created at the Aviary Bar at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton, the Jungle Bird was among the last original tiki drinks to appear before the genre vanished in the wake of disco. This version gives a tropical twist to the Negroni by substituting fruit juices for vermouth. The rich gingerbread spices of Jamaican rum play off the herbs in the Campari, while the pineapple juice delivers a soft, silky texture. For the garnish, Shannon Mustipher, rum expert and author of Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails, recommends scoring a lime with a channel knife, then cutting it into wheels or wedges to drop into the drink.
