Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks.
We make cocktails for everyone.
My name's David Edwards, and it's great to have you here today.
We're going to make a Kentucky Jungle Bird.
Now this is a riff off the original Jungle Bird that was sold at
the Kuala lumper Hilton hotel.
And that cocktail has been around for a long time.
And it's absolutely fantastic.
In fact, it's actually one of the first introductions for
myself personally to compari.
Now this is a six ingredient cocktail with a Southern flare.
So you get all those tropical flavors, but you get a little bit
of American bourbon and you want to use a good bourbon in this.
So grab your shaking glass, and we're going to start this off with
a little bit of a one-to-one simple syrup, and we're going to use
half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
After you've done that.
What you want to do is add the first year citrus flavors, and we're going to
do that with a little bit of lime juice.
So what we'll do is we will cut this in half and squeeze out three quarters of
an ounce or 22 and a half milliliter.
Well, let's continue on with our tropical flavors.
And what we'll use is a little bit of pineapple juice.
I'm using pure pressed pineapple juice.
You could blend up a pineapple if you want totally up to you.
So what we're going to do is add announcing a half or 45 milliliters.
You just can't go wrong with some pineapple juice.
Those flavors go with almost every.
I guarantee it.
However, what we're going to do now is add the Passion Fruit Liqueur now I'm
using some Alize and we're going to use a total of half an ounce or 15 milliliters,
and next you get your Southern flavor, your Southern style.
We're going to use a little bit of bourbon and I'm using a Bulleit
Bourbon ten-year-old bourbon.
One of my favorites use your favorite bourbon because it's your cocktail.
And you're really, really good at it.
All the different nuances and flavors and it has to come out.
So we're going to use an ounce and a half or 45 milliliters.
The next thing we're going to add is our bitter element.
And for that, we're going to use Campari, which of course you can't make any type
of juggled or variant with a compari.
Now compari is a tie and a pair of chief.
Absolutely fantastic.
Um, however, it does take a bit of getting used to, so if this
is the first time trying it out, you'll understand what I mean.
Now for this, we're going to use three quarters of an ounce or 22 and a half.
Fantastic.
Look at this color.
You just can't go wrong.
Well, maybe if I learned how to actually put a cap on a bottle, however, what we're
going to do now is we're going to add some ice and we're going to shake this for.
Um, two 15 seconds.
If you find it a little bit too bitter, you could shake it a little bit more.
Um, but again, totally up to you.
So make sure you have a very good seal, pop it down, flip and shaken.
Yeah.
Pop that off with the strength of a thousand passion fruits like,
so, and now what we're going to do is serve it in a rocks glass.
Serve it and whatever you want, whatever you enjoy most, because
again, it's your cocktail.
We're going to just fill the glass with a little bit of ice.
Ah, look at that.
Absolutely.
Perfect.
And what I am going to do, just because I want to, I want that form to be fantastic.
And because from the pineapple juice is I'm going to find strain
with little chunks and bits.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Like you just can't go wrong.
Now, what we are going to do is just garnish this with a
couple of pineapple fronds.
We'll just slide them in here, like so, and let's give it a try.
First thing immediately, we smell subtle hints of pineapple.
We smell a little bit of passion, fruit and a little bit of the compari.
Let's give it a two.
Oh, yeah, that is good.
It is a creamy, lightly pineapple, slightly bitter compari.
Absolutely fantastic.
It is not overly bitter.
In fact, this is a little bit less bitter than a straight jungle bird.
The bird.
Absolutely fantastic in this.
Uh, you just can't go wrong with this.
