Angostura Colada

This tasty concoction is straight out of The Essential Cocktail Book 🛟:

I got carded at a liquor store, and my Blockbuster card accidentally fell out. The cashier said never mind.

So, here’s the deal—I’ve always played it safe with cocktails, especially when they start talking about ounces of angostura bitters instead of just a dash or two. But man, the buzz around this Angostura Colada made me take the leap. And wow! Taste? Mind-blowing. Looks? Aesthetic perfection. Say adios to the regular piña colada because this version’s stealing the show.
