About the Trinidad Sour

Created by Giuseppe Gonzalez, controversially using a massive amount of bitters as base.

Missing something?

  • No Angostura Bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
  • No Rye Whiskey? Use Bourbon (Softer and sweeter than rye's spice)
  • No Rye Whiskey? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (A bourbon: softer and sweeter than rye)

All swaps for Angostura Bitters, Lemon Juice and Rye Whiskey
