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...
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!
