Tiki cocktails are making a comeback, and few embody their sweet, fruity, and boozy balance like the Jungle Bird. Created in the 1970s at the Aviary Bar in the Kuala Lumpur Hilton, this modern classic gets its name from the tropical birds housed nearby. Unlike most tiki drinks, the Jungle Bird features a bold twist—Campari—adding a bitter edge that balances the pineapple’s sweetness. The result? A refreshing, complex cocktail that feels both tropical and sophisticated.
