HOODWINKED

½ oz lemon juice
1¾ oz pineapple juice
¼ oz simple syrup
½ oz Aperol
2 oz mezcal espadín

Garnish: pineapple wedge, pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Prepare pineapple wedge by pouring some harissa into a small plate then dabbing one side of the wedge to cover it. Strain over a large rock and garnish with the prepped wedge plus fronds.

A fun Jungle Bird riff for the change of seasons. Nevermind spring or fall, it works for both! Spec is originally by Devon Espinosa but I found it on The Educated Barfly's IG channel. My pic is lacking the fun harissa-pineapple garnish, but luckily I had frozen some fronds the last time I had a whole pineapple, so it's at least half garnished.

Early Bird

½ oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
¼ oz simple syrup
¼ oz coffee liqueur
½ oz coffee-infused Campari*
1 oz Jamaican Blended Aged Rum ❸

Garnish: pineapple frond, coffee beans
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Double strain over a big rock and garnish.

A really lovely jungle bird riff when you need a pick-me-up in the afternoon. A little caffeinated, a little boozy! The coffee-infused Campari is really delightful on its own and absolutely stands out in this spec. First seen from IG subtletiki.

* coffee-infused Campari: add whole beans to Campari in a jar and let sit 12-48 hours depending on how strong you want the infusion. I go all the way. Strain and discard beans; the Campari is still shelf stable.
