The Jungle Bird is a tropical rum cocktail with a twist! Bitter Campari offsets sweet pineapple juice to make a balanced, refreshing mixed drink. The first time I had a Jungle Bird, I was sold. It’s one of the few rum cocktails to pair tropical flavors with an Italian bitter: Campari . You might know Campari from the ubiquitous Negroni : an ultra dry and bitter drink. But add it to a tropical drink and it becomes something new: balanced, unique, and absolutely irresistible (in my opinion). Campari perfectly balances the drink and gives the finish an intriguing complexity. In fact, one of my personal favorites and I’ve made over over 300 cocktail recipes ! It hits all the right notes: sweet, tart, fruity, and bitter. Why You’ll Love This Recipe It’s a tropical drink with depth.

A cortado coffee is an espresso drink with the perfect balance of milk and espresso! It’s a uniquely smooth pairing that’s silky and robust. Looking for an espresso drink that’s even better than a latte or a cappuccino? In my opinion, it’s the Cortado! This Spanish coffee drink is intensely smooth, the ideal balance between espresso and milk. It’s rich, robust, and silky, each component bringing out the best in the other.

It’s so yummy that I think I might be brave next time and not add an...
