Angostura Aromatic Bitters is a concentrated bitters made from a blend of herbs, spices, and fruits. It is produced by the House of Angostura in Trinidad and Tobago, and is one of the most widely recognized and used bitters in the world. The recipe for Angostura Bitters has been a closely guarded secret since it was first created in 1824 by Dr. Johann Siegert, a surgeon in the Venezuelan army who settled in Trinidad. The bitters are typically used as a flavoring agent in cocktails and other alcoholic beverages, and can also be added to non-alcoholic drinks and food recipes to add a complex and distinctive flavor profile. The taste of Angostura Aromatic Bitters is both bitter and sweet, with notes of cinnamon, clove, and other spices. It is usually sold in small glass bottles with a distinctive label featuring a yellow oversized Angostura logo, and a paper wrapper around the neck of the bottle.
