Jungle Bird
1.5 oz rum (dark Hawaiian)
1.5 oz fresh pineapple juice (I threw a mango in when juicing it so it's pineapple mango)
0.75 oz Campari
0.5 oz fresh lime juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
I hesitated to put the simple since pineapple juice is so sweet but it's not too sweet. This is good, it's like a grown up pineapple juice. I always thought I didn't like Campari because I don't like Negroni and on its own it's most foul. But in fruity drinks it rocks.

I love this drink! Sometimes tiki drinks are so sweet they’re hard to sequence in a dinner situation; with the Campari I feel like it takes the tiki paradigm and makes it work in the before-dinner context.
This is one of my favorite drinks! I’ll often add a dash of vanilla if I’m not getting it from the rum.
