Yellow bird (cocktail)

Yellow bird is a Caribbean cocktail.

[1] The origins of the yellow bird name is unclear.

[2] Some sources mention that the cocktail was named after the Haitian tune "Yellow Bird",[2][3] that was first rewritten in English in 1957[2] that became a sort of national anthem of the Caribbean due to the popularity of Harry Belafonte's recording.

[3] Hawaiian singer Arthur Lyman, one of the influencers of the tiki culture's exotica music, released a version of the song which rose to number four in July 1961 on the Billboard charts and was played weekly at Shell Bar in The Hawaii Village, a possible birthplace of the cocktail.

[2] Others argue that it was not named after the song and obtains the name from its sunny color resulting from Galliano, a golden, sweet vanilla-anise Italian liqueur[4] or from its color combination of yellow and orange fruits that are accompanied by a golden rum.
