History

Angostura Sour is a bold, bittersweet cocktail distinguished by the dominant flavor of aromatic Angostura bitters balanced with bright citrus. Created in 2009, it draws inspiration from historic fizz cocktails and offers an intense, refreshing experience. This drink is ideal as an aperitif or palate cleanser, providing a lively, cleansing finish with a hint of spice.
