Seeing as Three Dots & A Dash (the bar) is a hot new thing, I have been drinking way through their menu at home - one drink I enjoyed several times now is the Jungle Bird.

My tips for making it at home:

Experimenting with which dark jamaican rum to use, they all pretty much worked except Myers (where it was a bit heavy). I read Three Dots make it with '...bajan rum, dark jamaican rum...' so I tried 50:50 Cockspur & Myers ~ that worked fine!

The use of Campari is a bit controversial, I appreciate it might not be to everyones taste. The dilution from the shaking & pineapple juice balance the bitterness, the Campari adds a 'red fruity flavour' to the drink. Its miles away from being a 'normal Campari drink' (eg a negroni).

If you 'dry shake' (or shake this drink with half a shaker of ice at first), you get a pleasing foamy head on it (like in my pic below).

Anyway, a drink I recommend trying!
