Today we're making the Jungle Bird! This tropical classic dates back to the 1970s, and is very popular on drinks menus. The blend of rum, Campari, pineapple, and lime make for a boldly flavored drink while still remaining bright and refreshing. Bartenders personalize the Jungle Bird with their choice of rum as the base spirit. I'm mixing rums here, but your favorite will do the trick. Cheers!
