The team from Punch created a challenge for bartenders to translate a music genre into a drink. Shannon from Glady’s, NY took inspiration from a favourite reggae track 'Skylarking'. Given the bird reference in the song title, Shannon decided to take drink inspiration from the Jungle Bird. The bitter component (Campari) in the Jungle Bird is replaced with Suze, a Gentian liqueur - although the woody, herbal notes of the liqueur are a little overshadowed by the combination of intense rums.
