The Jungle Bird Cocktail is a classic Tiki drink that was created in 1978 at the Aviary bar of the Kuala Lumpur Hilton.

Rum, pineapple, and lime are typical in tiki cocktails, but Campari is definitely a new ingredient. Usually reserved for dry drinks like the Negroni, the bitter aperitif works surprisingly well in this mix. The fruits help smooth out its bitterness while the dark rum and simple syrup bring in a touch of sweetness to bring it all together beautifully.
