🌅 A Gin Twist on the Jungle Bird

Ingredients

1.75 oz Sunset 42 Gin
1 oz Pineapple Juice
0.5 oz Campari
0.5 oz Grenadine
0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice

How to Make It

Method: Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled. Strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass.

Garnish: Pineapple leaf, lime wheel, or a fresh pineapple wedge.

Why it Works: Sunset 42 Gin's bright citrus-forward profile pairs beautifully with tropical pineapple, while Campari adds depth and bitterness. Grenadine softens the edges with subtle fruit sweetness, creating a balanced cocktail that's refreshing, complex, and easy to enjoy.

Crafted for Golden Hour

"A friend once said, 'Gin doesn't belong in tiki drinks.' Well, I clearly disagreed."

Inspired by the classic Jungle Bird, this gin-forward riff highlights the vibrant citrus character of Sunset 42 Gin while introducing layers of tropical fruit and gentle bitterness. It's the kind of cocktail that feels right at home overlooking Lake Windermere as the sun dips behind the mountains.

From The Second Shot

"Here's a gin riff on a Jungle Bird using a very citrus-forward gin that Taynton Bay sent over for me to play around with. I swapped out the syrup for grenadine to add a bit more fruit and cut down some of the bitterness."

Pro Tip: Fresh pineapple juice makes a noticeable difference, adding texture and brightness that elevate the entire cocktail.

Note: Please remember to drink responsibly. 🌅🍍🍸✨
