Angostura Sour

The name should perhaps serve as a warning, as should the whopping ounce-and-a-half of Angostura Bitters in this recipe, and intense Angostura flavour...

Never tried an Angustura heavy drink before, I guess 1/4 of a bottle is a big investment if it’s not your thing. Need to get my big boy pants on. It’s clearly a nice drink but my brain says no

I love Angostura bitters and this Cocktail. Trinidadi Issues, Tradewinds Negroni, and Port of Spain are also amazing in this regard. However, I think it makes more sense to buy a bottle of Amaro di Angostura and try similar recipes that use the latter.

It is hefty on the bitters side but suprisingly drinkable. Overall I prefer the Trinidad Sour with the Rye notes.

Personally, I use the much cheaper Riemerschmid Angostura for this drink. Different profile but works well for me.

Why is this marked as non alcoholic? Clearly this must be an error

Yes, an error! Now corrected. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

Much better than I thought. Pretty drinkable. I've used falernum instead of sirup although.

No spirit is used. Instead, it has 45 ml of bitters which are 44.7% alc./vol.
