A Unique Cocktail To Try - the Trinidad Sour

[@AndersErickson]

Thumbs up if you like bitters.

[@Yksisuuntainen]

I don't really like bitters but you are damn sure still getting a thumbs up

[@gerritbutler4091]

I absolutely loved this cocktail, but bitters are pretty pricy. Do you know of a cheaper substitute so I could have this more regularly? I already went through a brand new 4oz bottle this weekend. Lol.

[@nathandraughn8395]

I was at a whiskey bar last night, and the bartender made a kind of scorched Old Fashioned by spraying the Angostura bitters in the glass with a small atomizer over a flame. It created a kind of fireball effect in the glass and really changed the aromas of the bitters. I’d love to see your take on that technique!🥃

[@bjob9955]

I had the pleasure of getting this drink made from the creator himself Giuseppi Gonzalez here in Vegas! What a treat it was.

[@joewas2225]

The Bitter Truth & Angostura bitters are the only ones I'll allow in my drinks.

[@artleitch]

I love the spirit of this recipe: Add angostura until it brings you joy. Pour orgeat until you smile. Tip in rye until it feels whole. And add a garnish if you have one on hand. Or not. It's up to you!

[@AndersErickson]

Well said, Art! What better way to describe this cocktail? Cheers!

[@richmosley2519]

Bang-on!

[@talonlan]

You missed out the lemon

[@mydogeatspuke]

@@talonlan you missed the point 😛

[@HighKingTurgon]

That's true! A full ounce-and-a-half pour is a little TOO much for me. But the ingredient bill is SOLID

You’ve quickly become my favorite cocktail KZbin channel. Never change! (Seriously. Never change.)

I love this mans energy, he's either the happiest guy ever or permanently drunk

[@MadDog769]

He’s a quintessential example of “Midwestern nice guy”.

[@jensdeetjen7236]

Probably both

[@lrphd8536]

Happiest guy ever, i.e., the embodiment of chill.

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Maybe both haha

[@topsecret1553]

Yes

[@Pawketz]

First time trying this one and it's amazing! It reminds me of when I would mix every soda together at a fast food restaurant and get that bubble gum reminiscent flavor

[@rubensintes1]

It's one of my favourite cocktails. Last Sunday my friend tried for first time and she felt in love with it. We did a route for several cocktail bars in Madrid. We had 5 each, in 5 different bars. I use the same measures of ingredients, but I serve it without garnish. Every time I gave one to a client that have never tried before they love it.

[@pmckeown38]

I've met addicts and heard their stories. Its ok the AB group is there for you :-)

[@AndersErickson]

😂 Brilliant!

[@bondy034]

I made this last night after seeing this post! I enjoyed the cocktail, but it didn't blow my mind. I was using homemade orgeat, and when it was all mixed together it was kinda the colour of a Bloody Mary which kept throwing me off. I love bitters so I had high hopes, but I think prefer having an ounce of bitters in with a lemon-lime-mint-soda drink (it's an Australian pub classic called a Lemon, Lime & Bitters, but I add extra bitters). But I'm pleased I tried this and gave it a go!

[@MrWhangdoodles]

This is one of my favourite unusual base spirit cocktails. So happy you featured it! I'll try your ratios out today. I'm teaching one of my flatmates how to bartend. This'll be a great showcase! Thank you!!!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Joonha! Love that you're teaching your flatmates how to bartend! 🍸🥃🍹

[@cammycechini4389]

I’ve watched so many of your videos and have made so many of your cocktails, and I have never been disappointed! But this truly was a unique one. It might be my favorite cocktail to date. And your addition of the mint garnish was brilliant (I even bought the little clothespins). I always look forward to your new cocktails. Another round please!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers, Cammy! Thank you so much!

[@littlefox54]

I listen to Anders to relax, chill, learn, and totally enjoy the ambiance and the tunes. Having AZ come in for tasting is the icing on the cake, or should I say the foam on top. 😊. Is she not only beautiful, a great video talent but ya gotta see her play her flute!!!! Damn Martha 😊😊!

[@Koopaz]

I just made this recipe with straight bourbon as i don’t have any rye but all i can say is… WOW!

[@Arrimax84]

Okay i am in. While working as a movie electrician in berlin i used to work in a top bar. I was just preppin till the masters walked in. But i was taught one cocktail per month. I only worked in the winter months so i reached 6 classic cocktails. Now settled i stumbled across this channel. Had 2 nice pink ladies as a gent and loved it. Keep up the good work. I O U

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for sharing, Roman - love your story! So happy you're enjoying the content (and the pink ladies). Cheers!

[@christophgraf63]

An amazing and astonishing cocktail. I already made it twice and everybody was pleased! Thanks a lot for your recipes!

[@robertallair7278]

I was so intrigued by this cocktail that I just had to make it. Like, right away. I was making drinks for 6 people, so I had to go and buy more angostura - walking, 20 minutes each way. When it came out of the shaker I was really surprised at how … uh … viscous, it was. It is a seriously weird cocktail, but it tastes great, everybody loved it, glad I made it. Thanks!!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks for making it, Robert! I'm happy everyone enjoyed it. Walking 20 minutes each way to get more Angostura earns you the most gracious host award! Cheers to you!

[@NeverEmptyBottle]

Lol absolutely love the honesty about the box. Great cocktail I have been wanting to make this for a long time and now that I have all the ingredients I have no excuse

[@AndersErickson]

You gotta do it, Tyler! Certainly one to remember. Hope you like it - cheers!

[@vjm3927]

Bartender here! My boyfriend’s favorite cocktail - leathery and delicious. Loved this video!

[@snuggilyd]

Just made this for the first time and it’s my new favorite cocktail. I loved this. Now I need the big bottle of ango

[@georgejasper8794]

I love watching your stuff - you explain things in detail, and you are enthusiastic about everything you build! I'm struggling to get my head around this proportions but I'll probably try one just to see. Cheers.

[@jenncoombes3467]

Perfect, perfect, perfect to build a fall menu around. Yummmmmm!

[@ChiragParmar49]

Through watching your videos over the last year or so, I've built up my home bar to have the vast range of spirits, liqueurs, mixers and tools to make your recipes! And I've loved every single one so far, the Sazerac being my favourite and go-to (maybe the old fashioned when i'm being lazy)... But this Trinidad Sour, could be a new favourite, so complex, yet so simple! Thank you very much Anders! Keep at it, love your videos!

[@PaulGuermonprez]

I love it! I'm a huge angostura fan. Really like your channel because you propose unique cocktails such as this one, thanks.

[@InFocusStudio]

I am so trying this cocktail this weekend. After watching your video on doing Angostura Bitter Shots, it has opened up a world of cocktail possibilities for me.

[@lg.2000]

Mr. Erickson I love your channel !! Watched your videos now for a quite some time and they are really basic cool and interesting ❤️‍🔥👍 Keep going, your my favorite cocktail channel now ..!

[@brooksball7611]

[@dununfolette16]

Thank you so much for all of your videos! I love how they're serious and fun to watch at the same time! They make me want to be a real bartender and not just someone who puts drinks in glasses behind a bar 😊

[@raxalot]

I finally made this and it is truly unique and delightful.

i don’t typically drink but i really enjoy your channel. keep going anders!

[@ryanme.5439]

My goodness!!! This is FANTASTIC. think you kind sir 😊!

[@KayinAngel]

A Trinidad Sour is legit one of my favourite drinks. So surprising and transformative. I'll have to mint it up one day though, never thought of that.

[@jaredhill1021]

I love this drink. I do add egg white to mine to give it that creamy mouth feel. 😋

[@matbadertscher479]

All time favorite classic cocktail, never tried the mint garnish. You're pretty cool!👍

[@carlupthegrove262]

WOW!!! Never heard of this but I'm going to try it... thanks

[@amitragoobar7073]

As a Trinidadian, I can't believe I've never had this before. Guess I gotta go get some bitters this weekend.

[@AndersErickson]

Hope you enjoy it, Amit! Cheers!

[@eronackerman565]

We limin' now! ;)

[@danielullfig6933]

I made one. LOVE IT. Gonna have to buy Angostura in bigger bottles now....

[@AndersErickson]

I know the feeling.

Thank you for inspiring me to clean, purge, & organize my bar! I also upgraded my tools and purchased my first set of Nick & Nora glasses. Cheers! Xoxox

[@mexicansmell]

LUV this drink, thank you, Anders! Almost tastes chocolaty to me in the most delicious way.

[@f.lapointe4343]

I did / tried my first trinidad sour ... and what a delicious drink... with aged martinique rum instead of whisky

[@observethemfdynamic]

This is phenomenal!

[@bodacious1uk]

Incredible cocktail. Had no rye so made with Four Roses. Will have to get some Rittenhouse to test the difference. Thanks for the recommendation! Also loving the Angostura shot too. Delicious

[@WaylonTheGreat]

Easily one of my favorite drinks! Anyone who likes this should definitely give the Stormy Mai Tai a go too. I also like playing with Amaro di Angostura as a full or partial sub for Angostura bitters. Stormy Mai Tai 1.5 oz Angostura 0.75 oz Orgeat 0.75 oz Curacao 1.0 oz Lime Float 0.5 oz light rum Garnish with mint.

[@AndersErickson]

Sounds excellent! Thanks for sharing, Waylon! 🍹

[@spaznorcrest]

I tried this with the angostura Amaro and it was very good also.

[@therealcarlchao]

Iiiiiinteresting... will have to try this, and then try one with an egg white just for funsies. Love the channel and love the energy - keep up the good stuff!

[@UnclePete]

I love this drink. Such a surprise that it works so well.

[@CopyCatCo]

This video has inspired me. I need to go buy a case of Angostura bitters.

[@boozeontherocks]

This I one that I have been wanting to try for a while now. I am on my way to the bar!!

[@MrWhangdoodles]

I had Anders' version the other day and it's genuinely amazing. It's a huge hit among my flatmates. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

As I am watching this with my post-work cocktail (Three Dots and a Dash) in hand, I have just now decided to make the Trinidad Sour in a little bit. It looks pretty awesome!

Awesome drink

[@David-mg8zu]

Happy Friday Anders, I love the Trinidad sour. The most popular drink in my last bar was the ‘Angustura orchard’ which is a very easy sipper. If ur interested here is the spec: 25ml Angustura 50ml cloudy apple juice 15ml lemon juice 1 barspoon of maple syrup Shaken, strained and topped with hard apple cider (we used Angry Orchard)

[@AndersErickson]

David, this drink looks awesome - thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be giving it a try. Have a great weekend! 🥃

[@CoachVinoLLC]

After the Angostura shot we did together during our interview, I’ve been wondering when you were gonna make this cocktail. You ever try the Port of Spain? I have one on my channel. I think you’d dig it. Cheers Anders! 🥃

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Vino! I'll definitely be checking that one out. Cheers my friend! 🥃

[@AndersErickson]

I'd love to take a trip to Trinidad and Tobago! 🇹🇹

[@MrWarcraft1337]

Okay so this tastes exactly like glögi to me! Like a concentrated bright, cold version, but exactly like a glögi otherwise. Kind of mind-blowing. Glögi or glögg is this spicy winey hot beverage we have during the christmas time that may or may not have alcohol. Basically a mulled wine. This is incredible and the fact that we don't have a price for Ango at my workplace other than 1€ cocktail mix makes it better as I just got myself a full cocktail for the price of 1cl of Bulleit rye with staff discount!

[@fabianadalcero1255]

Wow so good!!

Great camera and editing skills!!

[@geoffspakes]

Yea, I’m gonna have to try that one with that Kilbeggan Rye I have in my cabinet.

[@trevordavison4078]

Been making this drink based on the 'How to drink' channel's recipe for a little over a year now which includes an egg white for a decadent foam on top. If you'd like to do that, simply follow Ander's recipe, add an egg white and shake *without ice* (be careful to seal this properly as it WILL try to explode bright red bitters everywhere) and then add ice and shake again to chill before pouring into your glass. Cheers!

[@jameswatson7790]

Always look forward to your videos! Loved this one :)

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, James! 🥃

[@-AtomsPhere-]

I REALLY enjoyed this one! I changed the recipe a tad and added another half ounce of whiskey and an egg white to make it a true foam top sour. I also expressed orange oil on top to compliment the orgeat. While I loved both recipes, I have to admit I liked mine a scooch more!

[@christinecamley]

Wow!! :-) I have never seen this cocktail! The ratio of Angostura Bitters to Rye is interesting!! I definitely want to try a Trinidad Sour!! Looks fabulous, Anders!! Hey, I loved seeing you and Az with Carl and Riley tasting Tequila, Mezcal and Oaxaca Old Fashioned!! Terrific fun to watch!! Cheers Anders!! Have a great weekend!!

[@Project337]

First recommended video from you, and honestly the best possible first video because I love this drink so yes I subbed. I've yet to make this at home but I want to see what what a ginger syrup or liquor would do instead of, or in conjunction with, the orgeat. Japanese G&Ts tonight, perhaps to Trinidad next weekend.

[@netanelizhakov7592]

Amazing video! I tried it of course and i wasn't blown away like i expected.. it was to heavy on the angostura for me, then i up the rye to 30ml and boom! Amazingly balanced cocktail! Tanks for the video! Btw i using "bulleit rye" for my cocktails.
