Thanks for the comment JP – 1/2 oz of Peychaud’s in the Mai Tai sounds interesting.

[...] Speaking as someone who loves a liberal portion of Angostura bitters in some of his drinks, it’s nice to see Oh Gosh!’s Jay Hepburn offer up some recipes that use an ounce of the stuff. [...]

Hi,I’m a longtime reader of Oh Gosh but it’s my first comment!
I wanted to thank you for your job in general and for this specific post that inspired me a Mai Tai variation :

SeanMike – Damn, you discovered my plan…

Frederic – I agree, the cherry flavour is impressive. And the frothy head the biters provide look great.

While Giuseppe Gonzalez has created these modern recipes, older recipes for large amounts of Angostura have existed for quite some time. Charles H. Baker’s Angostura Sour is but one of them.

I am impressed at how much cherry flavor comes out from the cherry bark in the Angostura when used in that quantity. And how much frothy head you can generate from a shake from the bitters alone.

Another Angostura heavy recipe is Jasper’s Jamaica Planter’s Punch which is in the new edition of Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails.

And i do agree, bitters doesn`t always has to be measured in dashes.

I`m out of Angostura for the moment but when i get me a bottle again I will try both of these drinks, i cannot resist.

Btw, if you read my first blog post you`ll see that Angostura or rather the Trinidad Especial is good over vanilla ice cream, a trick i learnt from Michael Perron.

Maybe the Trinidad Sour also would be?
