The salty bird is the creation of lauren schell at the everleigh in melbourne, and we love it for its salty-sweet, pineapple-grapefruit flavors. As the name would imply, the salty bird is a cross between a salty dog and a jungle bird, and its a perfectly entry point for someone who finds campari too bitter in a drink like the negroni, or even in the original jungle bird. If you really cant stand camparis bitterness, aperol or another bitter citrus apritif is fine but you might want to skimp a bit on the simple syrup.
