It is perhaps best described as a Trinidadian Daiquiri due to its heavy use of Angostura Bitters. According to Owen Rutter, it was also originally made...
I tried a version with only one dash Angostura and another with the original five dashes. In my opinion the original is much better and the Angostura absolutely not overpowering!
Too sweet for my liking. Used El Dorado 8 yr rum. Angostura bitters are definitely noticed but not overpowering. I really enjoyed the flavors so next go round I decreased the Rich syrup by 50% to 1/4 oz/ 7.5 ml. Became a more enjoyable cocktail.
Anything over 4 ingredients...... has me thinking "is it worth it" but this delicious little number definitely is! Slips down a treat and has me intrigued at all the possibilities of trying different vermouths and rums...
