Tasting: Jungle Bird 2 Ways

Credit: Brad Thomas Parsons, Amaro

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz blackstrap rum
1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
3/4 oz Campari
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz 2:1 demerara syrup


Directions

Shake and strain over ice.


Notes

Fun to have Campari in a tiki drink! I tried this drink with 2 different rums: Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Cruzan Black Strap Rum. The Gosling’s Rum led to a more pineapple-forward drink. The Cruzan was much more assertively molasses.


Verdict

My husband preferred the Cruzan version. As much as I love pineapple, I tend to agree!
