Jungle Bird Cocktail
A simple, 5 ingredient tropical cocktail with Campari!
Servings: 2 Cocktails
Cost: $7
Ingredients
- 3 ounces dark rum
- 1 ounce Campari
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 3 ounces pineapple juice fresh
- 1 ounce lime juice fresh
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake for vigorously for 30 seconds. This is a crucial step when making the cocktail. The water from the ice needs to melt while shaking so dilute the cocktail so the ingredients blend together.
- Once the cocktail has been shaken, strain into a glass filled with ice.
- You can use large ice cubes or crushed ice for this cocktail.
Notes
- Use a good-quality dark rum for the richest flavor. Aged or blackstrap rum adds depth that balances the sweetness and bitterness.
- Chill your glass ahead of time if you want an extra refreshing experience.
- Fresh pineapple juice makes a big difference in flavor, but canned works in a pinch.
- If Campari is too bitter for you, try using Aperol or reduce the amount slightly.
- Make it ahead: You can batch this cocktail (without ice) and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours—just shake with ice before serving.
