The Story Behind The Jungle Bird
This classic tiki cocktail reportedly first spread its wings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, circa 1978. Today, bartenders at KL's RuMa Hotel and Residences serve a bright and balanced version in a glamorous decorative bird cage.
For at-home tiki enthusiasts with a more modest presentation budget, however, a rocks glass with a festive pineapple wedge garnish will certainly do the trick.
