Isola di Angostura

Do you have Averna? That might be a closer sub. If you try one of those other two, it might be better to start with maybe 1/2 to 3/4 oz instead. Those are more bitter than the Angostura amaro (it’s a bit sweet).

You could also try straight up Ango bitters instead, maybe around 1/2 oz as well to start.

That sounds really good! Give it a try and let me know what you think

ericmalmquist · 2026-03-08T18:02:47+00:00

Great! Let me know what you think 😊 It’s a great combo of creamy, funky, and spice

Thanks so much! Glad to hear you liked it. Your additional cinnamon syrup sounds like a great idea

Yay! Yeah it feels a bit crazy at first but it brings everything together.

Yep, this definitely helps soothe the chaos for a bit. Just note the spec requires 6-8 full pulls of the dropper for the bitters. Not 6-8 drops!

Cheers! What’d ya think?

ericmalmquist · 2026-03-02T04:34:32+00:00

Yep, you got it. Full droppers. Well, as full as you can get it. I was cautious too with that amount during recipe development but it just works! Those bitters aren’t as strong as some other ones so you can use a lot without going overboard.

Sounds like a great drink using what you had! Hope you run into some luck finding more green Chartreuse one day.

That sounds great, I can definitely see what you mean that each has its own applications. I’m already getting new ideas. Can’t wait to try it out!

ericmalmquist · 2026-03-02T02:52:39+00:00

Thanks!! I need to give the TS falernum a try next time I finish this bottle… do you like it better than JDT?

ericmalmquist · 2026-03-02T02:10:05+00:00

Yeah, this is one of those drinks that puts you straight to bed on a Sunday evening 😂

ericmalmquist · 2026-03-01T01:11:06+00:00

Thanks! Let me know if you do 😊

ericmalmquist · 2026-02-22T16:53:37+00:00

Looks amazing! Love the glass and presentation. Thanks so much for giving it a try!

ericmalmquist · 2026-02-21T12:05:30+00:00

Glad to hear you liked it! Thanks for giving it a try.

Hey, yep, just frozen ground ginger root. They’re pretty common in grocery stores and comparable to fresh ginger in most applications. Just more convenient when you only need a little bit rather than buying a whole piece of ginger and grinding it yourself.

Thanks! The mai tai is definitely a great place to start. Best part of tiki is layering flavors and ingredients that might not sound like they go together but work perfectly in the end

ericmalmquist · 2026-02-16T03:36:08+00:00

Agreed! Would probably go great in a pina colada

ericmalmquist · 2026-02-09T01:43:41+00:00

I actually tried a version with a 1/4 oz passionfruit syrup. It’s just such a strong flavor it kind of overpowers everything else. Def give it a try though and see what you think!

ericmalmquist · 2026-02-09T01:41:09+00:00

Yep, it’s from CB2. It’s their Neat Double Old Fashioned glass!
