Yellow Bird is a Caribbean cocktail beverage.[1][2]

History

The origins of the yellow bird name is unclear.[3] Some sources mention that the cocktail was named after the Haitian tune "Yellow Bird,"[3][4] that was first rewritten in English in 1957[3] that became a sort of national anthem of the Caribbean due to the popularity of Harry Belafonte's recording.[4] Hawaiian singer Arthur Lyman, one of the influencers of the tiki culture's exotica music, released a version of the song which rose to #4 in July 1961 on the Billboard charts and was played weekly at Shell Bar in The Hawaii Village, a possible birthplace of the cocktail.[3]

Others argue that it was not named after the song and obtains the name from its sunny color resulting from Galliano, a golden, anise-flavored Italian liqueur[5] or from its color combination of yellow and orange fruits that are accompanied by a golden rum.[6] It is worth mentioning that this IBA does not include this latter ingredient.[7]
