Angostura

Angostura is a type of aromatic bitters, a concentrated herbal beverage used to add flavor and depth to cocktails and culinary dishes. Originating from Trinidad and Tobago, it features a complex blend of herbs, spices, and botanicals, which provide a distinctive bitter and aromatic profile. Angostura bitters are commonly used in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, and they can also enhance sauces and desserts. Despite its name, it is not a type of angostura tree, but a brand name that has become a staple in bartending worldwide.
