Tiki and Tropical Drinks: Appleton Bird Cocktail using Appleton Jamaican Rum.

Tiki and Tropical Drink Recipes: Learn how to make the Appleton Bird cocktail a new Jamaican mixed drink. Here is a new one for your logbooks, a great Appleton rum recipe right from Appleton Estate themselves that we thought we would share with you all. Appleton is a premier rum distiller famous in Jamaica for their fine rums. The Tia Maria, a coffee liqueur, also has origins in Jamaica and tastes of Jamaican coffee beans and vanilla. 

The Appleton rum gives the drink it's depth and the Tia Maria gives it it's complexity with notes of coffee and vanilla and a creamy texture. The creme de banana blends great and gives the drink a nice tropical vibe.  The orange juice helps to round everything out. A really nice tropical drink from Jamaica that would be a great additional to your tiki bar.

We have had a bunch of nice reviews for this tropical / tiki cocktail in the last few weeks.

Tiki cocktail drinks: Death in the South Pacific Recipe.

Tiki Drink Recipes: How to make the Death in the South Pacific cocktail with recipe and information.
This Tiki Cocktail won the 2010 Tales of the Cocktail Tiki Punch-up competition.

This is a complex and exotic tiki drink for your tiki bar. It is rather complex to make, but the effort is worth it. The Death in the South Pacific has won a few Tiki drink contests, which demonstrates the caliber of this tiki cocktail. A must try drink for any tiki cocktail adventurer. Death in the South Pacific was invented by Washington bartender Evan Martin. Here is what Evan has to say about the name; “The drink’s name is a play on Love in the South Pacific and Death in the Afternoon."

Here is what tiki expert Jeff Berry had to say; “This drink hits all the contest requirements on the nose: It creatively mixes multiple rums, sweeteners, and citrus to “tikify” the Planter’s Punch template; it has a full-bodied, layered, but not overcomplicated flavor; and its garnish shows theatrical flair, cleverly referencing the drink name.” This drink is a favorite to many.

This tiki cocktail takes a bit of prep, but is well worth it.
