Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until diluted and well chilled. Strain over a single large cube in a rocks glass and garnish with an orange twist.

Editor's Note

A clever deconstruction of a tiki classic. The Jungle Bird's core of aged rum, bitter Campari, and tropical pineapple is concentrated into a spirit-forward, stirred sipper.

This sounds like a fantastic way to bridge the gap between tiki and classic stirred cocktails! Do you happen to have the recipe for that Campari-soaked pineapple syrup so others can try making it at home?
