The Yellow Bird cocktail is a must try! You'll love the bright color and balanced flavor of this drink, with its notes of vanilla and licorice.

Yellow Bird Cocktail

ounces* white rum

Galliano liqueur

triple sec (or Cointreau)

lime juice

For the garnish: Lime slice and cocktail cherry

Place the rum, Galliano, triple sec, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add 2 handfuls of ice and shake until cold. 

Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime strip and cocktail cherry if desired. 

I'm not sure why you think adding pineapple and orange juice would make this a tiki drink. I would argue that it is close to a tiki drink without it. Look at the classic mai tai.

I added a splash of orange juice to this to brighten up the flavor and color. Good recipe.

I was interested n the liquor Galliano and loved your honesty about not being alive in the 1970s. I was and can attest that lots happened! I found this vintage bottle in elk River Mn. It’s missing a few details and one on a search for what. And found you!

In my exploration of the cocktails that are out there, this is my new favorite cocktail.  If you're a fan of sours, this is fantastic.
