Trinidadian Sour

IBA

A modern cocktail that boldly repositions Angostura Bitters — typically a supporting player — as the star, using a full ounce to anchor the drink. The result is a surprisingly complex sour, where the bitters' herbal intensity is softened by the nutty sweetness of orgeat and brightened by lemon. It challenges the assumption that bitters are merely a seasoning, revealing their depth when given center stage.
