Jungle Bird

Although its inventor, who was working in a bar in Kuala Lumpur in the early seventies, chose to create this tiki classic with Campari, I prefer Cocchi Rosa Americano, an aperitif composed of a blend of wines punched up with various fruits, herbs, and spices, including cinchona bark, whose quinine provides Cocchi's bark, so to speak. The nutmeg and a pinch of salt round out the flavors and keep the bitter and sweet from killing each other. This recipe first appeared in EveryDayCook.Photo by Lynne Calamia
