Description
A bold, bright red tiki drink made with Old Tom gin, Campari, pineapple gum syrup, and fresh lime. This fruity, slightly bittersweet riff on the classic Jungle Bird shakes up in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ounce Old Tom gin (I use Ransom)
- 1 ounce Campari
- 3/4 ounce pineapple gum syrup
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Add Old Tom gin, Campari, pineapple gum syrup, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Fill a tiki glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail over it.
- Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lime juice: Bottled lime juice can taste flat and a little bitter next to the Campari. Fresh lime keeps the drink bright and balanced.
No pineapple gum syrup? Swap in 2 parts simple syrup (or agave) and 1 part pineapple juice. For this recipe, that's ½ ounce simple syrup or agave plus ¼ ounce pineapple juice. You'll lose a little of the silky texture, but it's still delicious!
