Angostura: well known for being one of the most popular bitter’s out there recently held a competition in the USA. Using their fine collections of Rum’s as well as Bitter’s, this cocktail challenge took place at Seamstress, NY where we tasted, judged, and watched some of the best mixologists from their home cities “shake their way” to the title of WINNER!
Some of the best cocktails and recipes are here for you to try at home. Thanks so much to Angostura and these fabulous Mixologists: Aaron Butler (NYC), Megan Arts (MN), Maggie Meskey (PA), and Spencer Warren (PA).
