What is the bartender tip for a Jungle Bird?
The IBA (2024) locked in blackstrap, Campari, pineapple, lime, and demerara. Without blackstrap, a dark Jamaican rum works — white rum disappears behind the Campari. Fresh pineapple juice foams; boxed juice comes out flatter. The 22.5 ml of Campari is the bitterness that sets the Jungle Bird apart from the Mai Tai. Rocks glass with fresh ice.
