This unorthodox cocktail was created by Giuseppe Gonzalez at the Clover Club in Brooklyn in 2009. The Trinidad Sour is unusual in its heavy use of bitters, a whole one and a half ounces of Angostura bitters. The combination of bitters, lemon juice, rye whiskey, and orgeat syrup creates a uniquely textured but deliciously balanced drink.
Sours belong to one of the oldest original cocktail families. They’re mixed drinks with a base liqueur, citrus juice, a sweetener, and often an egg white. In this recipe, the bitters act as the liqueur and it deviates from the typical egg white found in sours. For a more conventional sour, try the Whiskey Sour or the Pisco Sour.
