The Trinidad Sour is an IBA official cocktail.^[1] Unusually for a cocktail, it uses Angostura bitters as its base spirit rather than merely as a flavoring agent. The bitters are the single largest component of the drink, in its IBA formulation. The Trinidad Sour was introduced in a 2009 competition by Giuseppe Gonzalez, but despite its bold flavors, it was a complete flop, failing to even make the competition's top ten. Yet over time, the drink gained popularity and earned its place as a modern classic.^[2]
