Yellow Bird

IBA

Associated with the mid-20th century Caribbean cocktail tradition, the Yellow Bird draws its name from a popular calypso song and reflects the tropical optimism of that era's drinking culture. Galliano's herbal vanilla-anise sweetness is the defining element, lifting the drink above a standard citrus rum cocktail and giving it a distinctive aromatic warmth. The interplay of triple sec, lime, and white rum keeps it bright and lively beneath that herbal richness.
