When I first came across a picture for the Bird of Paradise I knew I had to make it. Upon further review, the recipe did require some additional prep and a couple bottles that were unavailable to me at the time. Regardless of the ingredients list, it just looks like a drink that you want to make.

If you can find a bottle of St. George Raspberry Brandy I'd suggest picking it up. If you can't find it, Schladerer Himbeergeist Raspberry Eau de Vie is a suitable alternative and if you pick up one of these bottles I do plan on coming back to it in the near future so we can use it in other cocktails.

The origin of this drink is from Charles H Baker's Gentlemen's Companion which you can view online here: https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.c...

The drink is also featured in Beachbum Berry's Potions of the Caribbean: https://amzn.to/3CwvRRt which is a must-have book.
