The tiki bar scene is well-known for its jungle bird cocktails. They were first made in Malaysia in 1970. 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 rum's molasses-like sweetness is balanced by the herbal Campari. It's the perfect cocktail for happy hour.
These cocktails are very popular in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. They are usually served over ice in a porcelain bird-shaped vessel. Some variations on the recipe are made with spiced rums. This cocktail is great in warm weather.
Most jungle bird cocktails contain blackstrap rum. The drink includes rum and fresh lime and pineapple water. Fresh lime juice adds a sweet, tart flavor to the drink.

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 Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Let it sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
