About the Trinidad Sour cocktail
The Trinidad Sour is a modern classic built on an unexpected base: a full ounce and a half of Angostura bitters instead of the usual dash or two. Orgeat adds almond sweetness and dark complexity, a little rye whiskey bolsters the spices, and lemon juice turns the whole drink into a true sour.
When the cocktail was first entered in a competition, it was a complete flop and failed to even make the top ten. It later became one of the great comebacks of modern bartending, proving that a bitters-forward sour with Christmas-like spice, orgeat, rye, and lemon could become a cult classic.
