To be fair, I only designed the logo that the mug was based on (and the coaster). PopTiki of Colorado designed and produced the mug. He's an amazing artist (and an all around swell guy).

The older I got the more I appreciate the bitter drinks, jungle bird is a solid drink. Jungle Bird is also a nice spot in Sacramento

I avoided the Jungle Bird like a rogue wave in the Pacific but I decided to ride the wave and hope for the best. I'm shocked how fantastic this ride has been, not the bitter bugger I was expecting!

Love that bird mug. Very clever with the coaster being the bird's claws. I want one!

Here we go! Such intense intro music for a Tiki show; I like it though.

So glad you are a Jungle Bird convert! One of my favorite cocktails. You mentioned Smuggler's Cove.. if you're ever up here, Zombie Village has a clarified Jungle Bird, the J.B.M.P. Definitely one not to miss if you're visiting.

Spike We always love your videos..Thanks!... I personally dislike Campari on its own. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and our neighbors would serve it with soda or w/o before a meal. I read it is made from the "chinotto fruit" which resembles a small orange and is grown in Sicily. Tart & bitter but good for the digestion. Salud!

The jungle bird is one of my favourite, even though I usually use 2oz of rum. The OG JB is just a real nice, fruity and balanced drink. I'm undecided about the 'modern' JB with 2oz pineapple. I can see why some like it but I prefer the original.

Somewhere there are Italian dudes sipping Campari straight up. My mouth puckers weirdly as I imagine.

Campari works well as a mixer to smooth out sweet vermouth in several mixed drinks.

Campari is definitely an acquired taste. The Jungle Bird is the only cocktail with Campari that I actually enjoy. Never drink that straight! Lol

I'm with you Spike, not a bitter cocktail fan. I tried this recipe a couple years ago and the Campari was too much for me. But if someone who feels the same about bitter enjoyed it I'll give it another chance. 🍹

I use Tempus Fugit Gran Classico instead of Campari for all applications, including the Jungle Bird. It’s a great upgrade.

Those bloopers reminded me of Jacky Chan bloopers for some reason... And yeah, I had the same facial expression after tasting that bitter potion.

Finally :-). One of my absolute favorites! I've made it with a plethora of different rums. A Dominican rum, aged and dark of course, is my go-to for this specific cocktail. I also use demerara syrup and Carpano Antica. Great episode! I enjoyed it a lot.

When he sniffed the Campari, I felt that.

Tiki dog time!🐶🐶🐶🍹

3:32 only someone who has no idea what Campari taste like would do this, I was waiting for that face 😂

Super jealous of your bottle of Doctor Bird. Very hard to find around here. I had some at Smuggler's Cove in S.F. and have been looking for a bottle ever since. Of course it can be ordered online, but it would be nice to find it locally.

Spike, so glad you’re making room on the palette for Campari. I believe you originally felt similarly about Dr. Bird because on its own it’s rough. But in any cocktail Dr. Bird is the absolute best. It’s becoming more difficult to find these days. Anyhow, give the Kingston Negroni and the Bitter Mai Tai a try. Both amazing. Cheers (keep ‘em comin’)

How can I be on the show to get a pin? As you said you're not a fan of Campari, make Rum Negroni or a Boulevardier as it takes a bit off the edge of the bitterness. If you're down to get experimental, maybe a Campari Colada is in the future.

Well, I decided to try this recipe. As I mentioned before, I am not a fan of Campari, but I have this bottle and it needs some TLC. Followed your recipe, except added .5oz rich simple and .5oz Campari. Still was too bitter to enjoy. Maybe I will add more rich simple, or maybe no jungle bird for me.

I can’t seem to find Doctor Bird in the Dallas area

If you like Doctor Bird, check out the special edition they have here: floridarumsociety.com/shop/

Campari- or as my mom calls it, Robatussin CF!

I've never tried this version only the Smugglers cove version, I will have to try doubling the pineapple juice because that makes sense, the campari might be tamped down by more pineapple juice increase.

HOWEVER, I've only made the contemporary version. I haven't tried the original with 4 oz of pineapple. That may be the key for me. I'm excited to try it. I didn't know it existed.
