Refreshing

Tropical

Putting a fresh twist on a classic! Created by Brian Miller of The Polynesian in NYC, who reimagined the Jungle Bird with tequila, mezcal, and grapefruit. This Bryan took it a step further borrowing his wife’s plant (don’t worry, it made it back home safely!) and adding a kick with Grapefruit Habanero Straws from Seasoned Straws and Star Anise Bitters from Old Fashioned Lounge. The original calls for 4 dashes of absinthe, but sometimes, you’ve got to make it your own. Who’s up for a sip?

Editor's Note

A smoky, agave-forward riff on the Jungle Bird. The split base of tequila and mezcal cuts through the rich orgeat, while a whisper of absinthe adds an aromatic, herbal finish.
