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.

Trying this TONIGHT! Great Video! That old clip is hilarious!

0:52 aww I really wanted Arthur Fleck to teach me how to make a Daisy

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!

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!

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❤

fantastic template of a cocktail. great on its own, but ive never made it the same way twice!

My grandmother always goes crazy for jungle birds, she can’t get enough of them

A new favourite , thanks

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)

@ChristopherOdegard

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.

Jungle bird is one of my absolute favorites. It is the drink that got me addicted to campari as well lol.

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! 👍❤️

Love the contrast of the old intro vs the new!

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 KZread! 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.

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.

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!!

Soon I will recuperate my Campari bottle. Can't wait so I can make me one of those! Great!

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!

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.

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!

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

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!!

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.

I agree on the pina colada - it has rum pineapple and coconut. That's totally a tiki vibe.

Nice

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.

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?

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.

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."

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.

One of my absolute favorite drinks along with the 1934 Zombie!

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.

Holy sheet what a drink. Cant believe I've never had one before.

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.

What is better Captain Morgan black spiced rum or Appleton estate signature better for this drink? P.S. they are all I have

Wow

Hey I'm from Chicago! Well the suburbs and I never say Fantastic! Lol

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?

sweet jesus your voice was completely differenct back then

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.

good

Something you've gotta try... Swap out Campari for Averna in the jungle bird. It brings this drink to the next level.

Oh also I have all the ingridients for this one. Except for that fancy blender, but I guess this one is not absolutely critical

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?!?
