A generous pour of Angostura bitters gives this rum sour its bold, spicy character.
This is a rum take on the modern classic Trinidad Sour, which famously uses Angostura bitters as its main spirit rather than a garnish — here paired with Trinidad 8-Year-Old rum, lime, sugar syrup and egg white. Shaken without ice first to build the foam, then again with ice before fine straining, it’s bittersweet and surprisingly smooth.
