A Little History

The Trinidad Sour was created by bartender Giuseppe González in 2009 at Brooklyn’s Clover Club. 

This cocktail is notable for using Angostura bitters as its base spirit, a bold move that defied traditional 

cocktail norms. Despite its unconventional approach, the Trinidad Sour has since become a modern classic, 

celebrated for its unique flavor profile.
