No limits Ray Letoya won the Angostura global cocktail challenge in 2018 by brandishing a chopstick as a stirrer. He encourages bartenders to explore bitters beyond thinking of it as bitter. You can use up to a shot (15ml) of Angostura in a tall cocktail, and it'll work well with brown spirits like rum, rye whisky or bourbon.
