Angostura Bitters
The bitters of the world: Angostura bitters — created in 1824 in Angostura, Venezuela, by Dr Johann Siegert as a medicine, made in Trinidad since 1875 — the dash that seasons a million cocktails (and the oversized label, a famous happy accident of mismatched bottle and label, kept forever).
What it is
The bitters of the world: Angostura bitters — created in 1824 in Angostura, Venezuela, by Dr Johann Siegert as a medicine, made in Trinidad since 1875 — the dash that seasons a million cocktails (and the oversized label, a famous happy accident of mismatched bottle and label, kept forever). Origins: Siegert's 'aromatic bitters' for Simón Bolívar's army; his sons moved production to Port of Spain. Made from: a secret blend of herbs, roots and spices in rum spirit, from a recipe five people partially know. How it's made: 1) Macerate the botanicals. 2) Blend and rest. 3) Bottle in the paper-wrapped icon. Served: dashed into Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, pink gin, and Trinidad's own LLB (Lemon Lime and Bitters, the national soft cocktail). Flavor: clove, gentian, cinnamon depth. Strength: 44.7% (used by the dash). Culture: Angostura is Trinidad's global signature — the House of Angostura also distils the island's rums (see next). See also: Trinidad Rum.
