Jungle Bird Cocktail Recipes

By Mike Richardson 2 July, 2023 2 mins read

A staple of the tiki bars scene are the jungle bird cocktails. They were introduced in Malaysia in the late 1970s. These tiki cocktails are made with rum and tropical juices. They are usually served in a double-old-fashioned glass with ice and have a bittersweet taste. A pineapple wedge is often added to the drink for extra fruity flavor. The Campari herbal is balanced out the rum’s molasses sweetness. It's a perfect happy hour drink.

These cocktails are very popular in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. They are often served over ice in a porcelain-bird-shaped vessel. Spiced rums can be used in some variations of the recipe. This cocktail is delicious especially in warmer weather.

Most jungle bird cocktails contain blackstrap rum. In addition to the rum, the drink also uses fresh lime and pineapple juice. The drink is sweetened with fresh lime. Aperol can be used instead of limes or grenadine. You can make your own simple sugar syrup at home. To make simple syrup, heat half a tablespoon of sugar and half of a cup water in a saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

The majority of tiki cocktails were made with fresh pineapple liquid during the era of tiki cocktails. There were also variations that used blackstrap and other spiced spirits. You also have a range of tiki bitters to choose from.

Mixing the Jungle Bird with other Tikki liqueurs is also possible. Gin is a popular choice for tiki drinks and can be used in a jungle bird cocktail. AnchoReyes chile liqueur, another popular option, is also available. Your jungle bird can also be enhanced by an allspice-dram.

The original creation of the Jungle Bird came from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It was first invented in the Aviary Bar of the former Kuala Lumpur Hilton. It was created by the beverage manager, Jeffrey Ong. He served the drink as a welcome drink at the hotel.

The Jungle Bird is one of many tiki drinks that are based on Rum. This drink has a sweet, rich rum flavor. However, the drink is balanced by almond liqueur as well as a sour lime hit. Dark rums, such as Jamaican rum, are preferred.

A shaker, simple syrup, rum and pineapple juice are all you need to make a monkey bird. You can also substitute the rum for club soda or sparkling wine. Then, you can shake it for about 30 seconds. The alcohol content can vary depending on how dark the rum is. Although the alcohol content isn't quite as strong as wine in general, it will have mild sweetness.

The traditional Jungle Bird was served in an old-fashioned glass with ice. It is also possible to make a highball. It is important to thoroughly shake the drink with ice.

This unique tiki mix combines a tropical pineapple flavor with a sour-lime taste and a hint Campari. Blackstrap rum is a favorite of the Jungle Bird, but you can customize it with other rums.
