Angostura Bitters
Product of Trinidad and Tobago
Dr J.G.B. Siegert (Circa 1824)
You added a style to my fruity rum drinks
Crowned my Pisco Sours and turned my Gin pink
On a hot day with tonic and lime…most sublime
In the fall in Manhattans and Rob Roys the same
In celebration on cube sugar in my Champagne
I have muddled you sweet in the Old Fashioned way
Let you play “Secret Ingredient” when I was Chef for a day
You settled my stomach when indulged far too much
Just a couple of dashes add a great bitter touch
You have been with me through the good and bad
My friend Angostura from old Trinidad
