Angostura Cocoa Bitters (10cl, 48%)

A cocoa-forward cocktail bitter from Angostura, made with locally harvested Trinitario cocoa nibs from Trinidad and Tobago. Introduced in 2020, it joins the classic Aromatic Bitters and the Orange Bitters launched in 2007. Angostura combines the crushed cocoa nibs with aromatic botanicals. The dark brown bitter pairs well with sweet vermouth, aged whisky, rum, cognac and tequila, and can add a cocoa accent to an Espresso Martini. It is also used in small amounts to season sweet and savoury dishes. The nose leads with cocoa, accompanied by warm spices and floral and citrus nuances. The palate shows strong cocoa with nutty and floral notes, aromatic botanicals and light spice. The finish leaves a distinct bitter note.
