The Yellow Bird is a classic cocktail that originated in the Caribbean. It is named after the popular Caribbean song "Yellow Bird," which was a hit in the 1950s. The cocktail is known for its bright, sunny color and its sweet, tropical flavor.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The Yellow Bird cocktail is made with four main ingredients:
- Rum: This is the base spirit of the cocktail. White rum is typically used, but dark rum can also be used for a richer flavor.
- Galliano: This is an Italian herbal liqueur that adds a unique flavor to the cocktail.
- Triple sec: This is a type of orange liqueur that adds a sweet, citrusy flavor to the cocktail.
- Lime juice: This adds a tart, refreshing flavor that balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare a Yellow Bird cocktail, the ingredients are combined in a cocktail shaker with ice. They are then shaken until well mixed and strained into a cocktail glass. The cocktail is typically served straight up, without ice.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Yellow Bird cocktail. Some recipes include pineapple juice or orange juice, while others add a splash of grenadine for extra sweetness and color. There is also a version called the "Yellow Bird #2," which includes vodka and cream of coconut.
