2. Yellow Bird

This rum-based, fruity and citrusy drink with a distinct banana liqueur highlight, was named after the famous song.  While listening to Harry Belafonte’s version of “Yellow Bird” (which essentially became the lyrical anthem for the Bahamas), sit back, relax and refresh yourself with this beautiful cocktail of the same name.
