Ep. 80: Come fly with me – Jungle Bird and Kentucky Bird
Description
The Jungle Bird is a cocktail you need to be familiar with, especially if you struggle with that bottle of Campari that’s staring at you from your bar cart. This tiki drink makes excellent use of our bitter friend in a way that will please even the most hateful of Campari haters – and we feel bad for the haters (please don’t hate). Uncle Brad goes into the surprising origins of the Jungle Bird and, of course, gives us the real deal recipe while Jules hits us with a Kentucky twist. Stick around for the excellent tip inspired by @aberryx
