The Jungle Bird is a true icon in the world of tiki cocktails. It's famous for its daring and delicious combination of dark rum, sweet pineapple, and the signature bitter bite of Campari. It’s a sophisticated drink that proves tiki isn't all about being overly sweet. While we love the classic, we knew we could make it even more interesting, and a whole lot easier to whip up at home. This spicy jungle bird recipe is the ultimate modern shortcut.
The secret is our Bravado Spice Pineapple & Jalapeño Margarita Mixer. This one bottle does the heavy lifting of three separate ingredients (pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup) while adding a fresh, green heat from the jalapeño. The spice is the perfect counterpoint to the sweetness of the pineapple and stands up beautifully to the distinct bitterness of the Campari, creating a perfectly balanced drink every single time.
You get everything you want from a tiki drink: the rich molasses flavor from the rum, a wave of bright tropical fruit, that classic bitter orange finish, and a surprising, pleasant warmth from the jalapeño. It's the easiest and most exciting Jungle Bird you'll ever make.
