The Jungle Bird
45ml (1 &1/2oz) dark rum – Diplomatico Mantuano
45ml (1 &1/2oz) pineapple juice (I prefer long life, but you can certainly use fresh and may just have to up the sugar)
15ml (1/2oz) Campari
15ml (1/2oz) fresh lime juice
10ml (1/3oz) cane sugar syrup (to taste)
A pineapple and cocktail cherry to garnish
The Toreador
40ml (1 & 1/3oz) blanco tequila – Arette (or Calle 23)
20ml (2/3 oz) Marionette Apricot Brandy (otherwise Massanez and Cartron both make good quality ones).
20ml (2/3oz) fresh lime juice
1 dash Mr Bitters fig and cinnamon bitters (or Angostura works just as well!)
5ml (1/6oz) sugar syrup (to balance depending on your brand of apricot brandy)
No garnish
The Bees Knees
50ml (1 & 2/3oz) Plymouth Gin (a classic London Dry)
20ml (2/3oz) honey water
Try to use decent quality honey, and you can experiment with different types as they will give different flavours.
20ml (2/3oz) fresh lemon juice
Lemon twist to garnish
