This deep reddy-brown bittersweet drink is based upon sweet almond syrup balancing bitter notes from the Angostura and lime tartness. With a whole shot of Angostura this cocktail is most unusual.

Great surprise! Shake well! I must try if 15 or 20 ml of Pisco instead of 10 would make it even better. I

I marginally prefer this over the Trinidad Sour, as I think the equal amounts of bitters and orgeat play better with my slightly sweet tooth. But that’s splitting hairs as they’re both awesome. Although I can’t have them TOO often, or I’d be getting through bitters by the crate haha!

I have wanted to make the Trinidad Sour forever, but when I saw this recipe, I was instantly convinced. I made one to celebrate the anniversary of Angostura Bitters Limited, but could have obviously also celebrated Trinidad and Tobago's independence a day later. Definitely one to try!
