You know you want a Yellow Bird too.

It’s a drink! A Caribbean cocktail for sipping on the back deck or patio while watching pretty birds.

The Common Yellowthroat is a pretty bird to watch. Or listen to… witchety, witchety. But only in summer.

You can watch Goldfinches all year round, around here.

My recipe for a batch of Yellow Birds to share. Mix in a pitcher and serve over ice.

• 1.5 cups light rum
• 3/4 cup creme de banane
• 1/2 cup galliano
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1.5 cups pineapple juice
• juice of 1 lime

Bonus bird: a (banded) Yellow Warbler spotted on the Isles of Shoals last May.
