Like a bittersweet cocktail? Then you’re sure to love this modern classic.

Offbeat drinks have a steeper hill to climb when it comes to attaining classic status. The Trinidad Sour, created by bartender Giuseppe González, is a paradigm shifter with its base of Angostura bitters, but the drink has such a richness of flavor that it has become beloved by bartenders around the world. This one, pictured at Whisler’s in Austin, stays true to Gonzalez’s original recipe.
