Port of Spain (by Dominic Alling)
Named after the capital city of Trinidad, the home of Angostura Bitters, and fittingly this cocktail calls for a monster half an ounce of bitters. Despite...

I'm actually amazed. I've never seen a cocktail using this much of Angostura, so although I expected the cocktail to be completely dominated by it, I was still intrigued and tried it today. Surprisigly the amount of Angostura isn't overdominant at all! The flavours work so well together that I can feel every single ingredient I used. The ratios are also perfect here, there's nothing I would change about this recipe.

Did anybody try with tequila instead? Is it a good idea?

Boozy, bold, full of flavor but surprising balanced. Probably dangerous because I feel like making it again.

Coming back to this as an update, but IMHO a very smoky mezcal works best here. For the first time I used Montelobos and the second time I used Lopez Real. They are both great, but the Montelobos has a very smoky flavor that balances very nicely with the angostura bitters, while the Lopez Real felt a little one dimensional.

That's delightfully balanced and delicious. A magical cocktail.

Incredible drink, very bold flavours that work perfectly together, pleasant bitter finish of the ango, smokiness of mezcal which for some reason my mind associates with pure fire, and just the right amount of sweetness from orgeat. Every next sip makes me fall in love with this masterpiece more and more. Will certainly mix it again in the future.

Absolutely unbelievable! Didn't register how much Angostura until I was mixing the drink. Thought it might be a typo. Then worried my wife might pour this over my head when I served it to her. Instead it went straight into our favorites list. What a delicious surprise.

I was just thinking this reminds me of a German rauchbier I had once that made me feel like I was drinking barbecued meat, except this is more delicious and nuanced with the orgeat and lime. What a unique cocktail, and a great option for anyone into smokey & spicy drinks.
