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...
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.
Mi Mama mezcal | Finest Call orgeat | Super lemon juice | Angro ________tastes like: a barbecue, a jamaican barbecue. very intense, dont even want to slosh it around cuz it might melt my teeth lol. really makes me sweat. astringent.
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.
This was delicious! I'm not sure *how* it works, but it really does work -- the big bold flavors of the mezcal and Angostura are subdued yet amplified by each other to ultimately create something new and distinctly tasty. I would definitely make this again!
