Angostura Bitters

Angostura bitters is a concentrated bitters based on gentian, herbs, and spices, produced by the House of Angostura in Trinidad and Tobago. It is typically used for flavouring beverages or, less often, food. The bitters were first produced in the namesake town of Angostura but do not contain angostura bark. The bottle is recognisable because of its distinctive oversized label and yellow cap. Angostura is Spanish for "narrowing", the town of Angostura having been at the first narrowing of the Orinoco River.
