The Jungle Bird - Truly Tiki
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- According to the first published recipe of this drink in "The New American Bartender's Guide" by John J. Poister (1989) the Jungle Bird was created at the Aviary bar in Kuala Lumpor in 1978.
Yes this is a redo of our original Jungle Bird video, but in this video I use the Original Jungle Bird specs whereas the other video employed a reconstructed version made by the bartenders at Attaboy in NYC. And if Ima be honest that one needs a redo too! So Let's get to it!

Man that Hair + the Hungover voice - Classic Leandro
The cut to the “Drink” opening had me laughing so hard that the wife and kids were looking at me like I was crazy. Well done!
haha
Oh man, I was freaking dead. That was so much Gold
This was the first drink that every made me like campari. Yours looks great and its way to early in the morning for one right now. How ever it is Friday and I'm having one tonight for sure.
Same here ,hahaha
Try an “Enzoni”, it’s what’s gotten me personally into Campari. An incredible drink.
@@miXn I will do that, thank you.
That hair is legend!
"I upped the rum to 2 oz because I'm an alcoholic"
*I upped the Campari to 30ml because I can*
Alcoholics go to meetings. You are an enthusiast.
@@BOYVIRGO666 I have a good friend who insists he's an 'alcohol-IST'
This statement really resonated with me.
Me too
I feel like you're watching me because I just happened to come across this drink for the first time last night and made it two different ways, once from your original video. Now as soon as I wake up I see this? Damn, Google Ads are getting advanced...
Lol!!!
DUDE! Same thing happened to me.
Please keep up this amazing content. I haven't found anywhere else on youtube that has such great drinks and their history. Also love the way you play off of your camera man
Bro, you are the best! you make me happy on happy days and happy on sad days!
I love your cocktails and cocktail measurement adjustment by your taste!! thanks a lot and keep on with this amazing channel!!!!!!!
I have been using a 1/2 Oz of Gosling's Black Seal 151 and an Oz of Appleton Estate Reserve 8 Year and it turns out absolutely fantastic. I agree that the Jungle Bird is the perfect introduction to Campari as well, mostly because it was my first one.
Thank you for revisiting one of my very favorite cocktails!
I'm sure keeping up the energy is exhausting, but really it has improved the videos so much! Cool to see a throwback to the old style.
I've watched a few of these be made but this one looks the most delicious. Very nice!
Excited to try this! Would love a “tiki 101” video with your opinion on the best basic rum set up. Would also love a passion fruit syrup recipe if you have one. Keep em tiki drinks coming!
0:52 aww I really wanted Arthur Fleck to teach me how to make a Daisy
Love these. After seeing the thumbnail earlier today made one by swapping the simple syrup with a quality banana liqueur. Turn out quite nice. Great video as always!!!
Top 3 favorite drinks
Love all variations to this drink❤
Trying this TONIGHT! Great Video! That old clip is hilarious!
I love watching old Drink videos and thinking that Leandro was some heartless bastard with a hoarse or lost voice from screaming at the world.
Educated Barfly Leandro is cool too. JungleBirdForever.
I love the Jungle Bird as much or more than any other cocktail, period. I've probably made more than 25 of them for myself at home over the last six months or so-I go through a lot of Campari. Recently I discovered a variation called The Bermuda Hundred, which substitutes Gin for the Rum in a Jungle Bird. I played with that, and created(?) another personal favorite.
I call it:
THE MARTINIQUE HUNDRED
1-1/2 oz - Gin (I recommend a modern botanical gin, I prefer Uncle Val's Botanical)
3/4 oz - Suze
1-1/2 oz - Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz - Lime Juice
1/2 oz - Orgeat
Shake vigorously over ice and garnish in a tiki style
(cross-posted to the Educated Barfly Facebook Page)
I actually made this last night using a blend of Gin (as one might do with Rum). I used half Uncle Val's and half Hendrick's, and the pineapple juice and Suze seem to bring out a lot of the cucumber character in the Hendrick's. My girlfriend suggested cucumber slices as a garnish in that case.
Christopher Odegard yummmm
fantastic template of a cocktail. great on its own, but ive never made it the same way twice!
A new favourite , thanks
This Jungle Bird is one of my favourite cocktails. I really like a Salty Bird too, it's the same specs with the addition of a pinch of salt... delicious!
Scott McGregor yummmm
Great drink. I made one with using your old specs and I like this version better for sure. (I may even have upped the rum a little over your 2oz recommendation?) 🤷♂️. I love that bitter-finish the Campari provides. Thanks for your efforts as always! 👍❤️
Thank God for Marius!! Keeping History Alive!!!!!
Thanks for this. I was just looking into this cocktail the other day. I was surprised to see that there were two schools of thought, with Beachbum Barry saying to use 120 ml of pineapple juice but some of the other sources saying to use 45 ml. Your 60 ml recipe sounds like a happy medium.
Jungle bird is one of my absolute favorites. It is the drink that got me addicted to campari as well lol.
Three years ago my manager pushed me to bartend and shortly after, I started watching your videos. I remember being so annoyed by your raspy voice and the flies making cameos in your videos! I didn't know it then but you are a treasure trove of information!
Since then I've spent the last two years bartending at a large-format ice program and my viewership has fallen off, BUT I have to say that after revisiting your videos you are the best source of information on UA-cam! Amazing production, informative, entertaining, and most importantly you make proper drinks anyone at home can make.
PS: If you are a bartender watching these videos because you were recently hired during the pandemic to work at a craft cocktail bar with little to no experience, watch these videos, hit up Bonneville Cocktails, and then go say hi to my man's Bruce over at Bar Talk & Cocktails. After you realize memorizing recipes is pointless, go practice building rounds while talking.
My grandmother always goes crazy for jungle birds, she can’t get enough of them
Favorite Tiki drink! Man, Campari just ticks all my boxes and the Pineapple is perfect for the weather.
Also, I really enjoyed the length of this video. For videos I intend to watch (like this one), shorter length is easier to make time for. I think having a longer (podcast style?) video every now and then discussing more in-depth history would be really well received too.
Caleb Hartig great idea
As always...awesome video. I thought that trying Capalletti instead of Campari would kill this cocktail. Hell was I wrong. Really nice balance with the lime juice and the pineapple. Thanks for sharing this cocktail Leandro!!
Thanks, you made me spit out my Jungle Bird with the "Drink" intro 🤣🤣
Classic!
Shout out from a fellow Boston bartender. Love your videos, cheers my friend!
thanks Connor and thanks for watching
Love the contrast of the old intro vs the new!
Love love love the color of a jungle bird
This is currently one of my favorites. I had been using Steve's specs of 1.5 oz Rum/Pineapple... but I like the idea of just bumping those up to 2 oz.
For anyone that likes GIN... look at Steve's Bermuda Hundred. Very similar to the Jungle Bird, but with Gin and Orgeat (replacing the simple). SOOOooo delicious. Both of them!!
I love that cocktail so much. It might just be my favorite. Pinapple, lime and orgeat have such an amazing flavor synergy.
Yes! See my comment elsewhere on this video. I tried a variation with Gin and Suze and it's spectacular.
If you can manage to find some spirit Guild Astral Pacific, try THAT in your Bermuda Hundred. It's just AMAZING in that drink www.thespiritguild.com/spirits/
YASSSSSSS - i went to a junglebird PARTY with some Seattle Bartenders a few years ago.
gooooood times
That old clip looks like you but with a wig on lol
I know crazy....
Haha. I can’t unsee it now.
😂😂🏁
And a different voice
Soon I will recuperate my Campari bottle. Can't wait so I can make me one of those! Great!
this one's very good with coruba & AMAZING with hamilton pot still.
apparently it's also good with cruzan black strap. this cocktail is just a nice canvas for dark rum.
My favorite cocktail!
I agree on the pina colada - it has rum pineapple and coconut. That's totally a tiki vibe.
"Because a I'm an alcoholic" 😂😂😂 im loving this channel.
Me too
I do enjoy Leandro educated barfly of 2018; a tad bit serious but still good! :P Good job on the redo. I didnt recheck the old video but i think it was the "first tiki drink" you guys showcased on your channel. Been wanting to try this drink for awhile, but frickin Quebec doesnt sell blackstrap rum which im waiting to get my hands on a bottle once we can travel again :(
punchdrink.com/articles/what-is-blackstrap-rum-anyway/ i think i might have corrected myself. So is "blackstrap rum" just all hype? An aged jamaican rum should suffice?
If I may, I suggest Veev Açaí berry liqueur . Makes wonderful margaritas and other cocktails ! ! And the jungle bird looks great ! 💪🏽
This is probably my favorite cocktail, although I use Smith & Cross because I think it balances out with the Campari way better than black rum.
I'm gonna make one tonight with Smith & Cross and a demerara syrup I just made...
thats an excellent idea. If you can find it, Blackstrap rum (not black rum) also makes a good variant
Oh wow I’ve gotta try this.
That'll be nice & strong, too!
So, I tried it with Smith & Cross ... The 'banana funk' comes through surprisingly strongly against the Campari ... in my brain, it doesn't quite register as a Jungle Bird -- but it's delicious!
That looks great 👌 amazing combination I love campari
My go-to for introducing people to Campari, along with an Enzoni
This is great. I used plantation XO from BARBADOS because I'm a rebel. Just the smell of this thing while it is being made is worth it
Love this drink, I usually split my rum with something like a Plantation 5 yr and a Jamaican overproof like Wrary and Nephew. I think it balances out the Campari a bit better but honestly delicious either way.
Jungle birds are the best. I still love all the old videos.
Me too :) They’re not going away they’re now in a Barfly Classic playlist
“We’ll save that for the Chicago videos” took me out😂😂😂 boutta make this cocktail right now tho
I tried this with your exact specs except I used 1.5 oz of one of your favorite rums...DOCTOR BIRD...since it's a Jungle "Bird". I figured the name was fitting. It turned out AMAZING!!! You should try it.
LMAOOOOO that throwback tho....
Were you being forced to do this?
Were you missing your favorite TV show?
WHO HURT YOU!? lol Love it
Similiarly I upped the rum to 3 oz....because I'm also an alcoholic.Love it
Is there anything I can substitute for the Campari? Love the video! :)
Yes.
Any aperitivo will do ie: gran Classico,
Luxardo Bitter, Aperol, etc...
Love the drink and the vid. Gotta say though: "So today we're gonna be doing dah dah dah...." doesnt have the same friendly flair as "WHAT'S UP GUYS WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUCATED BARFLY!" 😉
Yeah I just didn’t want to have a spiel that’s always the same. I’ll do a few others for ya :)
I'm definitely one that is happy that you are reshooting the old long-haired, hangover-voiced videos. It's actually more the voice than the hair for me, but the hair was distracting. Sorry.
I can't wait to make this drink tonight! I had looked it up just a couple of days ago to have it on hand for this weekend, and now I'll have to try both variations.
I increased the Campari to 1 ounce, and decreased the pineapple, lime, simple syrup and rum to 0 ounces.
Increased the amount of gin to 1 ounce, as well as the amount of sweet vermouth, added a dash of orange bitters and loved my Negroni.
Great video. I will have to try the different specs. I just cant do this drink with any other rum then Cruzan Blackstrap. Its just not the same drink without it. Granted the blackstrap version uses different specs.Thats actually how I was introduced to it. In an old article from food and wine Sam Ross gave the recipe he used which is the version that Guiseppe Gonzalez adapted when he worked at Painkiller NYC.(loved that bar!) I tried it without the blackstrap and it wasnt the same. Then I went to Milk and Honey/Attaboy (not sure if they had switched over yet). It was a different drink. So I got blackstrap and have been drinking this cocktail for years. I usually just drink it on a big rock like they served it to me there. So delicious. You HAVE to try it with black strap. Use the Giuseppe Gonzalez recipe, though.
Nice
Drink pouring over the top, " let's top this up with ice " 🤣
Gotta love surprise tiki/amaro!
One of my absolute favorite drinks along with the 1934 Zombie!
My first sip of Campari made me ask "Who on earth enjoys this?" Just then a kindly Jungle Bird landed on my shoulder and whispered gently into my ear "You do, bird brain."
😂 happened to us all
A rare Blissful Leandro appears in the thumbnail. Another color in the Leandro emotional spectrum. I think I might pick up some more Campari so I can make a Jungle Bird this weekend.
The Jungle Bird after your original video is my favorite drink. I used Plantation 5 years where you used Stiggin's Fancy. But then I learned that proper specs call for a dark rum, tried it with Myers' and didn't like it nearly as much. Perhaps not as approachable. I'm going to try it with Goslings too. Any other recommendations? I haven't seen Coruba on shelves around here.
For the Jamaican funk rum I’d say Appleton Estate.
I was watching Truffle on the Rocks this morning and I was reminded about that cocktail challenge you had with him a bit back, but I don't remember you ever making his response cocktail. Did I just miss it?
Making it this week. COVID messed things up and it got put on the back burner but I’ve got all the Ingredients and will probably shoot the episode this week!
Hey there! I am sorry if you have alread answered this but would an immersion blender work to flash bend a cocktail?
Not sure the mixer I used doesn’t really “blend” as in break up ice or anything and an immersion blender would so...maybe? Haven’t tried it
I love a jungle bird with SC specs but with smith and cross and a heavy a float of angostora
SC for sure set a standard for modern tiki! Epic specs!
Wow
sweet jesus your voice was completely differenct back then
Something you've gotta try... Swap out Campari for Averna in the jungle bird. It brings this drink to the next level.
I love Coruba, but this drink is particularly excellent with Hamilton Jamaica Pot Still black (and use 1.5 oz of the stuff in that case). It's definitely worth trying (not for a video, just for your personal enjoyment)
Love Campari, Love Rum, of course I love a Jungle Bird!
Holy sheet what a drink. Cant believe I've never had one before.
It's the first drink that got me to enjoy Campari
That’s some serious Super Dave Osbourne voice on the retro clip. Nothing wrong with a redo too.
Really tasty and refreshing cocktail - Especially on a scorching day like we're enjoying today on the East coast! But, I gotta ask... I have used that Hamilton Beach mixer 5 or 6 times now, and does that terrible oil burning smell EVER go away?!?
yes it does, eventually :) Don't recall how long it took for ours though
good
Def do a shot of Malort
Hey I'm from Chicago! Well the suburbs and I never say Fantastic! Lol
The Jungle Bird is a staple in our home BUT the original specs have 4oz of pineapple juice, not 2oz. but this sounds good, too.
I've been trying to get my wife into Campari for ages, but this spec was too campari forward and dominant for her tastes. But she did enjoy it with the 4oz pineapple juice spec, giving the cocktail a nice progression from sweet to bitter with the amaro bitters coming through on the finish. So I have a question. Just as chefs can get desensitised to certain ingredients, particularly salt, which unchecked could result in overly salty food being made for customers, is there an equivalent issue with mixologists? And if so, is there a way to recalibrate the palate? For sure taste is something that is totally subjective, but are there ways ensure that a developing palate doesn't end up becoming a tainted palate?
Hi! I'm from Peru!! I see your videos are fantastic I want to know history of cocktail you know real histories and please!!! Could you make more cocktails with Pisco!!! thanks!!
Yes!
Oh also I have all the ingridients for this one. Except for that fancy blender, but I guess this one is not absolutely critical
What is better Captain Morgan black spiced rum or Appleton estate signature better for this drink? P.S. they are all I have
I tried this first with aperol and fell in love with it. I have since gotten campari. I'm not a fan of campari and this actually hasn't made me one. I greatly prefer aperol.
Aperol is a perfect sub when people simply can't handle the intensity of Campari. Definitely a great way to go.
I love jungle birds. Was wondering how this drink would be with Dr. Bird rum since it’s so flavorful
Oooh man it would be AMAZING with Dr. Bird! Dr. Bird is seriously my favorite new product it’s FANTASTIC!
The Educated Barfly you need to add a list of rums on your buyback program, including Coruba and Dr. Bird!
I used Demerara syrup rather than simple syrup, I’ll try using simple syrup next time!
I tried it with ginger syrup opposed to simple (i didn't have any made up). It works, have I invented 'The Spiced Jungle Bird'?
Swap the pineapple juice for some passion fruit juice... it taste soo good!
I use 1oz of any Jamaican Rum and then 0.5oz to 0.75oz of a Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum (also Jamaican). Gives it more rum funk and more proof.
I have a question, sometimes I find a good cocktail drink and I see the ingredients on the menu. So my question is, how do you measure the ingredients without knowing the exact measurements?
Watch the bartender make it.
Hey just a heads up, the notifications bell is disabled on your channel?
Wha? Thats weird I’ll look into it
Nice.. it's going to be 120 degrees in Montreal today- (yes, it's true!) so I may drink 1 or 12 of these! Oh, and Caledonia Spirits (in VT) did a play on this classic by using their own old Tom Gin which is Tom Cat Gin (so they called it Jungle Cat). I have also used it with a molasses syrup (50/50). It gives it an empyreumatic (a new word for your vocabulary...which Marius probably already knew) background which is an acquired taste as it can be too intense for some ! Here's their recipe... Cheers!
1.5 oz Tom Cat Gin
0.75 oz Campari
1.5 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz VT Grade A Dark, Robust Maple Syrup
Could you approximate the flash blend with a stick blender, maybe adding the crushed ice around the stick so you don't grind much of it up?
a drink mixer wont grind it up much
@@TheEducatedBarfly Right. I think I'm going to try this with my stick blender, since I don't have a drink mixer:
1. Drink in cup
2. Blender in cup
3. Crushed ice around/atop stick blender stick.
That should prevent most of the ice from going into the blade house and being pulverized, but still stir the bejesus out of it. I'll report back if it works.
@@EricHonaker you haven't reported back - that because the stick blender didn't work?
If I don't have that sort of blender, would a quick use of a regular blender work?
you can just use a tin and whip shake the pebble a little, dump and top with pebble ice in a highball...
@@TheEducatedBarfly Sounds good. Thanks!
@@TheEducatedBarfly did a quick search on your channel for whip shaking but nothing really came up. I'm sure I've seen you do it with other cocktails but YT's search function is lousy. can you please remind me in which of your videos you performed a whip shake? grazie
Leandro mentions he suddenly gains a Chicago accent outta nowhere.
Everyone who's watched the livestreams think "it's gotta be the Malort". :D
So yesterday i was making some good old Americanos, my sister asked me what it tasted like. Apparently she does not like campari at all. Now i think im gonna make this one for her tonight and hopefully she will like it.
She just hasn't aquired the taste for it yet.
The Educated Barfly She tried it and drank the whole glass! She says she liked the use of the campari in the cocktail but she still isnt a fan of campari.
My first time drinking an americano i wasnt a fan either. But know im drinking it on a regular basis.
I like the more enthusiastic and clear voices Leandro
Me too :)
Is there a way to do this without the Hamilton Beach? Can I use a stick blender/immersion blender or whatever they're called?
I'd love to make this cocktail!
yes just whip shake the ingredients with pebble ice, dump into a collins and top with pebble ice
@@TheEducatedBarfly thanks, i'll have to give this a go for sure!
@@TheEducatedBarfly Oh and then one more question; can I use cracked ice cubes instead of pebble ice? I'm a college student so I unfortunately don't have access to an ice maker :(
@@lenny6281 you can...but you can also take the cracked ice roll it up in a clean dishtowel or bandanna and whack it with a heavy object to make crushed ice...
@@TheEducatedBarfly I see, thanks very much!
Just show a clip, ..... dead stare
I lol'ed!
Ohhhh 🤦♂️ I forgot cobras fang. Im gonna drink that
