“This is our riff on the Jungle Bird, a classic tiki drink,” says Alex Holder from Pool Burger in Austin, TX. “The bitter flavors in the Aperol are a good balance to the sweetness. It benefits from pineapple wedges or pineapple leaves for garnish. Or stick as many swizzle sticks as you have in there.”

Back to TopSo good. I usually skip out on the simple syrup as the pineapple juice is pretty sweet already. I've been using Plantation OFTD overproof rum. Cheers!
