Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the egg white and lime juice into a cocktail shaker and shake for 30 seconds. Add the bitters and syrup, fill with ice and shake hard for another 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Tip
  • To make simple syrup, combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Let cool, then transfer to a very clean jar or bottle. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

I tested this out last night out of curiosity. The best description of those who tasted it was “cinnamon potpourri.” Served neat in a coupe, the drink itself presents well, though different than its whiskey sour cousin over a king cube. The angostura sour has an interesting complexity with flavours of cinnamon and cloves on first sip, but I can’t get over the lasting dryness from the bitters. Long story short, this tastes like Christmas in a glass created by the bougiest hipster you know.

angostura bitters

Is this really the angostura bitters that you usually use 2 to 6 dashes of?

Beth

Yes! I was surprised to learn after making this that the bitters are 46% A.B.V. -- gin is about 40%.
