“A common story that I’ve been told by locals is that the #recipe is held by only five individuals at any time – one of whom is always the English #monarch – and that all five must agree to when #Bitters are made, thereby limiting over-production. Another story is that each of the five only have a portion of the recipe and that they must come together in order to produce Bitters, and that ingredients for #AngosturaBitters arrive in #Trinidad in unmarked containers, loaded onto unmarked trucks bound for the plant.” — Ramin Ganeshram

The Dead Reckoning

1 oz seltzer
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz maple syrup
½ oz SC vanilla brandy*
½ oz tawny port
2 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Add ice/seltzer to glass, shake, strain, top with ice.
Garnish: pineapple frond, mint sprig, lemon peel

This is from Smuggler's Cove and is a great one for summer. The vanilla brandy really steps to the front as the ice melts.

* Vanilla Brandy: Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, cut into three equal pieces, and add the pieces to a bottle of brandy. Reseal the bottle, and let rest at room temperature for two weeks, before removing the beans and discarding. Add 2 ounces of demerara syrup to the brandy and mix well. Store in the original brandy bottle for a year or more.

Entwarnung. Mit einem Spritzer Wermut war er genießbar. (Verreise nie ohne deinen Angostura)
