Jackfruit Jungle Bird -- Brewch Remix
Brewch Flavor: Jackfruit
Difficulty: Medium
Seasons: Summer

Theme: Tiki Tropical
Tropical jackfruit against bittersweet Campari -- the smartest tiki drink in the room.
1. Cocktail Version
Ingredients
- 5 drops Brewch Jackfruit (high potency -- start at 4)
- 1.5 oz dark rum
- 0.75 oz Campari
- 1.5 oz pineapple juice
- 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- Crushed ice | Pineapple frond and lime wheel for garnish
Method
- Add dark rum, Campari, pineapple juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and Brewch Jackfruit to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard for 12 seconds until frothy.
- Strain over crushed ice in a rocks glass or tiki mug.
- Garnish with a pineapple frond and a lime wheel.
Base spirit: Dark rum + Campari | ABV: medium (approx 14-17%) | Glass: Rocks glass or tiki mug
2. Mocktail Version (Zero-Proof)
Swaps
- Replace dark rum -> 1.5 oz cold-brew black tea
- Replace Campari -> 0.75 oz brewed hibiscus tea plus 1 dash aromatic bitters (for the bittersweet edge)
- Keep: 5 drops Brewch Jackfruit, pineapple juice, lime juice, simple syrup
Method
Shake cold-brew tea, hibiscus tea, bitters, pineapple juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and Brewch Jackfruit with ice for 10 seconds. Strain over crushed ice.
Zero-proof base: Cold-brew tea + hibiscus tea | ABV: zero
3. Seltzer Version
Jackfruit Lime Seltzer (single 8 oz / 240 ml glass)
- 3 drops Brewch Jackfruit
- 1 drop Brewch Lime Wedge (accent)
- 8 oz / 240 ml cold sparkling water
- Garnish: Lime wheel
Method
- Fill a glass with ice and add 8 oz cold sparkling water.
- Add 3 drops Brewch Jackfruit and stir gently.
- Add the 1 drop of Brewch Lime Wedge LAST -- its aroma is the most volatile, so a late add keeps it bright.
- Garnish and serve immediately.
HIGH-POTENCY FLAVOR: Jackfruit is concentrated. Start at the low end of the drop range and add 1 drop at a time -- it is far easier to add than to dilute.
Seltzer dosing: 3-5 drops primary per 8 oz glass; add accents 1 drop at a time.
4. Why It Works
Jackfruit is a rich, bubblegum-tropical fruit that can read one-note on its own. Campari is the perfect foil: its bitter-orange edge cuts the sweetness and turns jackfruit into the kind of complex, grown-up tiki drink that keeps you coming back.
5. Pro Tip
Jackfruit is high potency -- start at 4 drops and taste before adding the fifth. The Campari already carries a lot of intensity, so you need less extract than usual.
