Angostura The best known of the
bitters, widely used in cocktails; a secret blend of herbs and spices, including the bitter aromatic bark of either of two trees of the orange family (
Galipea officinalis,
Cusparia felorifuga). Invented in 1818 by Dr Siegert in the town of Angostura (now Ciudad Bolivar) in Venezuela, originally as a medicine, and now made in Trinidad. A few drops of Angostura in
gin makes a ‘pink gin’.
