The Jungle Bird Cocktail recipe is one of those Tiki Cocktail recipes, (Tiki = Rum Cocktails) that when made properly, tastes fantastic. So in this video, I will show you how to make the Jungle Bird cocktail, and then do my customary Rum tasting experiment with 12 Different Rums.

Smuggler's Cove cocktail book lists 9 rums in their "Black Blended" list. Coruba, Gosling's Black Seal, Hamilton 86, Kohala Bay, Lemon Hart 80, Pampero Anniersario, Newfoundland screech, blackwell's Black GOld, Skipper Finest Old Demerara. I have Couba, Gosling's and Hamilton 86 in my bar. I generally lean to Gosling's or Hamilton 86, with Coruba if I want a sweeter "Black Blended" rum.

First time I had this was at The Riviera in Disneyworld. Wow! Reminds me of pink grapefruit,even though theirs none in it! Delicious and refreshing by the Pool!

@Blueagle8u 2 месяца назад

I use Aperol for making this at home

@gravitywaves2796 9 месяцев назад

I like a jungle bird with a 1/2oz of peach puree or peach syrup. The sweet fruity peach flavor somehow works so well with the unique orange bitterness of Campari.

@StevetheBarmanUK 9 месяцев назад

Oooooo, made a note of that. Peach in a Jungle Bird sounds ace!

@tothefinlandstation 3 месяца назад

I made one today with 75% Appleton 12, 12.5% OFTD and 12.5% Hamilton Jamaican Gold.

Seen a few jungle bird vids lately, this one though was on another level 🙌 Superb content, cheers Steve! Flash blender on the Christmas list!

Thanks so much David. I love this style of video. Gonna keep rolling them for a while!

@als.2983 Год назад

Bravo! Steve, absolutely amazing work here. You have taken an iconic Tiki cocktail and showed us how to make each of its components sing. Our taste buds are better for it. I found the evaluation of rum types really interesting. Rum is rum, right? Wrong ... and you demonstrated the point. There are plenty of "how to make a Jungle Bird" videos on RU-vid ... but very, very few show us how to make each component work well together and how a few small spec riffs take the cocktail in new directions. Unique take on the Jungle Bird "how-to video". Once again, bravo Steve!

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

LOVE THIS COMMENT. Thank you my friend. That means a lot!

@ashergreen3356 Год назад

I prefer Gran Classico over Campari. Also, any drink in which orange juice is good is made even better by substituting tangerine juice for it instead.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah, Tangerine juice is great. I get it from my local Marks and Spencer!

@robertflaxman6014 Год назад

The mention of rhubarb reminded me of a little cocktail hack I devised recently when I was messing around with the Negroni, which is to dial back the Campari a little and add some Giffard Rhubarbe liqueur. It adds a bit of tartness and punch that works surprisingly well at balancing that bitter kick of the Campari while not muting it entirely. I was thus inspired to make a Jungle Bird variant tonight using Martin Cate's specs but with 1/2 oz Campari instead of 3/4, and then 1/2 oz Giffard Rhubarbe added on... and it was pretty good! You still have that bitter edge in the flavor mix but it no longer dominates the cocktail, and the tartness of the rhubarb complements the pineapple and lime as well. Not a bad option for people who just don't enjoy Campari, IMO.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah. Great twist. 100% endorse this message. Also the Giffard Grapefruit too. Pamplemouse I think it is!! Or for anyone else reading. If you don’t want to buy Liqueurs. Swap out the Demerara Sugar for a Rhubarb Syrup or a Grapefruit Syrup.

@cocktailclub-loungemusic Год назад

Good stuff. Being on the Bourbon Trail, I love a good cocktail. I like a good drink with relaxing cocktail music.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

What's your favvy Bourbon?!

@cocktailclub-loungemusic Год назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK I have many but currently have opened a bottle of Rabbit Hole - nice blend with a touch of spice.

@MrHighRaw Год назад

Oooooo, I've been looking for something to use this Worthy Park 109 in too!

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

There's plenty more for 109! It's a great Rum for these kinds of Drinks. Painkiller for example...and the Hurricane!

@karon521 Год назад

For science love it! My first jungle bird I got the wrong juice, orange instead of pineapple. Really enjoyed it. I have tried with pineapple since but I didn’t like it as much. Vanilla is a great idea I will definitely be trying that!

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Cheers Karen. Yeah, I did like the Orange variant. but the Pineapple still romped it side by side. Just the balance of the drink... the acidity of the Pineapple just more suited for me. Great experiments though. Trying to narrow down the next "experiment".

@ultimatemaitai Год назад

My fave rum is Hamilton Pot Still Black. Definitely like it a little funkier.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Still need to get the Hamiltons over here. But interestingly. I was with Eric from Holmes Cay yesterday. Lovely guy. Delicious Rums. Was on a 2007 Jamaica. Wow!

@lrvogt1257 Год назад

I tried a couple variations on your Jungle Bird last night. I didn't have the exact ingredients. Both had 2 parts Pineapple juice, 1 part Campari, 1/2 Lime juice, 1/2 Turbinado sugar syrup. I did one cocktail with 1 Pusser's Gunpowder Proof & 1 Appleton Estate 12. The other was 1 Pusser's Gunpowder Proof & 1 Plantation OFTD. They tasted remarkably similar and both were delicious. They were surprisingly refreshing and not overly sweet with that slight bitter citrus finish of the Campari. We'll be making more of those for sure.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Its a great Cocktail when you nail it.

@lrvogt1257 Год назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK : Nailed it again last night. I get this puzzled yet delighted look. "Ooh...What is this?" :-)

@seanpannebaker6404 Год назад

Great timing on this one Steve. I've never been a fan of the Jungle Bird. The Campari is too bitter for my palate. I just made one over the weekend and even when I dialed the Campari down to a half ounce, the bitterness was too much. I like the Aperol idea as well as switching the juice. Many thanks! Cheers!

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Cheers Sean! Let us know how the Aperol goes down!

@johndough4422 Год назад

Aperol is a great substitute. I just made a Jungle bird and even flash blended it and the Campari is sill the "shining star" of the cocktail. Still gonna smash the whole thing, but I really love the flavor of Aperol.

@TherapyBE Год назад

Would like to hear your opinion on the Plantation Dark in the Jungle Bird.

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yah, I should've included that! Perhaps this is a Live Stream add on... other rums that i didn't feature in the Video!

@David-mg8zu Год назад

Amazing video Steve, you should do the same style of comparison with the Naked Ape cocktail or the Rum Runner

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Ooooo, LOVE the Rum Runner. That could be a great shout cos it's so fruit heavy! Will have to remind myself what the Naked Ape is though!

@David-mg8zu Год назад

@@StevetheBarmanUK I love the Rum Runner too, perfect holiday cocktail. The Naked Ape is basically a banana & cinnamon daiquiri with overproof and black rum. Here is a recipe I found: 50 ml Black Blended or Demerara Rum 15 ml Light Overproof Rum 15 ml Banana Liqueur 15 ml Cinnamon Syrup 20 ml Lime Juice 2-3 dashes of Bitters

@csthere Год назад

I like plantation original dark in my jungle bird

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah. I should have used that in the video! Would’ve been an obvious choice!

@philgringo2438 Год назад

The Zombie cocktail is not easy to make because you have to find the right combination of several rums to make it pleasant to taste. I would be curious to see which rums you choose Steve 😁

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Yeah, I've got the Zombie on the list. It's kinda one of those like a Mai Tai though...a blend of Rums that could result in Hundreds of Combos. So it'd be hard to narrow it down for a video. Thats my only issue so far.

@philgringo2438 Год назад

Yes, it offers a lot of possibilities. But it's complicated to find the right combo. . Cheers Steve 🍸

Don’t worry about it I’ll watch the video again and pay closer attention Boss! 🤣 From recollection you initially made it with worthy park then 10/12 others which you narrowed down the the smith & cross as been your favourite, just didn’t catch if it matched up to the worthy park 🤷🏻‍♂️ a simply yes no would have been fine but like I say no worries 🤣

Have you tried Select Aperitivo in a Jungle Bird?

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

No. Select hasn’t really been on my Radar to be honest. 👍

@sergisamongas Год назад

I have to take your word on flash blending, as I don't like Campari and don't like Jungle Bird for that reason. Instead of Campari,, I add coconu milk, then it is delicious!

@StevetheBarmanUK Год назад

Coconut milk makes it almost... like really almost a Painkiller. a lot lot sweeter kinda Cocktail. Try it with Aperol instead, see if your palate can do the bitter/sweet thing.
