03History

Jeffrey Ong at the Aviary Bar built it as a welcome drink — tiki template with a Campari foot in the door. Reclaimed in the 2000s by New York bars, now a global standard.

The Campari must balance the pineapple — bitterness and fruit in equal measure.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
