The Yellow Bird Cocktail - A Summer Drink | Bar Talk & Cocktails

Very little known about the history of the Yellow Bird cocktail. Some people think it was named after that Haitian song Choucoune" and it's American rendition called "Yellow Bird." It was my father's favourite song. He used to sit in his comfy lounge chair tapping his foot to Harry Belafonte or the Mills brothers singing that tune. Other people think it was named for the bright yellow Galliano liqueur. What we do know is that The Yellow Bird is a tropical cocktail that is synonymous with summer vibes, cruise ships, beach getaways, and Caribbean vacations

Sounds simple and easy to make. Thanks Bruce.

[@talscorner3696]

The only issue to me looks like getting the Galliano.
I'm Italian, born and raised in the region of the city it was born in, and I was today years old when I learned of the Galliano's existence xD

How about a Yellow Monkey? Your the best

[@krisissocoollike]

I'd like to hear his cussing. hehe

[@w-hisky]

I don't know, man ... the Galliano is of such a bad alcohol quality, it ruins the drink. 🤷‍♂️ We say it's "spritig", which means, you taste sharp alcoholic notes, like in a bad vodka. 😖 (Or simply in a vodka.)

[@Kiki_Fugawi]

Lol. Wut. Galliano is delicious.

[@w-hisky]

@@Kiki_Fugawi Can't confirm ... but if you like it, hey, then enjoy it!
