Jungle bird cocktails are a staple of the tiki bar scene. They were introduced in Malaysia late 1970s. These tiki cocktails contain rum and fruit juices. They are typically served in an old-fashioned glass over ice. For an extra tropical flavor, a pineapple wedge is sometimes added to the drink. The herbal Campari balances the rum's sweetness that is molasses-like. It's the perfect cocktail for happy hour.
These cocktails are very popular in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. They are often served over ice and in a porcelain bird-shaped container. You can make variations by adding spiced rums to the recipe. This cocktail is especially delicious in warm weather.
Most jungle bird cocktails contain blackstrap rum. The drink contains rum as well as fresh lime juice and pineapple juice. Fresh lime adds a tart, sweet flavor to the drink. Aperol or grenadine can be substituted for the limes if you don't own them. It is possible to make simple syrup yourself at home. Simply add half a cup of sugar and half a cup of water to a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.

How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. You won't have to embarrass your server by asking for recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
