If you’re looking for a vacation in a glass, look no further! the Jungle bird cocktail is one of my favorite tiki drinks. This delicious cocktail was created in the 70’s by Jeffrey Ong at the KL Hilton Hotel, where it was served as the official welcome drink. The Jungle Bird features pineapple juice, fresh lime juice and Campari which gives it a slight bitterness that is mellowed out by the other sweeter flavors.
