One for the Birds
Flavor Profile: Tropical, herbaceous, bitter, overproof funk
One for the Birds is a Jungle Bird riff from Barlow Gilmore, swapping in clear amaro for Campari and tweaking the rum combo for extra brightness.
I used an amaro from Waterpocket Distillery — light, herbal, and just bitter enough. The result is vibrant, funky, and wonderfully yellow thanks to the pineapple juice.
