"This Jungle Bird riff is brought to courtesy of Rind! Fruit Peel Snacks for a cocktail competition they’re running and the woman who inspired them: Helen Seitner and her vision for a healthier lifestyle. Packing all of these tropical flavors into this drink was a little tough to balance out but well worth it. I originally was going to do a Mezcal Negroni but found myself wanting to play into the tropical flavors of the infusions in my favorite template. I used the Vermouth as a split base and ended up with a lower ABV but incredibly tasty entry with orange and wormwood introduced into this tiki cocktail. The infusions came through in different amounts, the pineapple amplifying the juice, the orange adding a bitter edge, and the kiwi giving a tiny pucker to balance the sweetness. I used the orange bitters to tamp down the sweetness some more because it really needed it. Overall I think I’ve got a great competition entry here!",
