Trinidad Sour Cocktail

Wed, May 15, 24  |  rye whiskey cocktails

The Trinidad Sour is a unique and flavorful cocktail that features Angostura bitters as its base spirit. It's a "reverse" cocktail, meaning the ratios of the liquor and bitters are switched compared to a traditional sour. The drink also includes orgeat (almond-flavored syrup), rye whiskey, and lemon juice.

Here's what you'll need to make a Trinidad Sour:

  • 1 1/2 ounces Angostura bitters
  • 1 ounce orgeat syrup
  • 1/2 ounce rye whiskey
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon peel for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  3. Garnish with a lemon peel, if desired.

The Trinidad Sour is a complex and interesting cocktail that is sure to please adventurous palates. The Angostura bitters provide a strong base of flavor, while the orgeat syrup adds a touch of sweetness and almond. The rye whiskey adds a bit of spice, and the lemon juice brightens up the flavor profile.

If you're looking for a unique and delicious cocktail to try, the Trinidad Sour is a great option. Just be warned that it is a strong drink, so be sure to sip it slowly.
