The Story: Unveiled in 2007, this vibrant, intensely aromatic expression made history as the very first new product innovation from the legendary House of Angostura in nearly two centuries. The island of Trinidad is legendary because it holds the Caribbean's most vibrant, heritage-rich distilling landscape. While the brand's iconic original aromatic bitters are defined by deep, wintery spices, this modern creation completely shifts the paradigm to celebrate sun-drenched tropical citrus. Disregarding artificial flavorings, it is meticulously crafted from a closely guarded, proprietary blend of exotic, sun-ripened Caribbean oranges hand-harvested in local orchards, carefully married with a complex array of local herbs and spices. It captures a masterful harmony of radiant island citrus and unparalleled, historic botanical blending precision.

Why You'll Love Me: It balances a remarkably bright, sun-kissed citrus punch with an incredibly seductive, deep and boldly bitter edge. Standing out as an absolute necessity for mixologists looking to add a luminous, zesty top-note to a drink, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of fresh-cut bitter orange peel, sweet mandarin, vibrant coriander, and a hint of warm clove. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, highly concentrated punch of flavor that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of sharp citrus oil, earthy gentian root bitterness, and a touch of subtle floral sweetness. It gracefully sweeps into a long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering clean minerality, a touch of gentle baking spice, and a signature hint of crisp, lingering orange-zest dryness.
