History

Trinidad Sour flips the usual formula by putting aromatic bitters front and center rather than using them as a dash. Almond, citrus, and rye frame that intense bitter core into something surprisingly lush. It feels experimental yet carefully balanced, a modern classic for bartenders and enthusiasts who enjoy strong, unconventional statements.
