    Just back from the wine shop and picked up a bottle of this as I hadn't seen it in over 10 years and thought why not !

    Not though I have very little idea as to what drinks I can/should make. The officiual website has more food recipes than drinks.

    Can it be added to anything I like or are there certain drinks that go better with it?

    I know its used when making pink gins. I think a few drops are used to line the glass with it it. Forget what else is added besides gin.

    You can drink a shot of it on it's own for a hangover cure, and it's also drank to get rid of colds.

    It also obviously goes into a lot of cocktails.

    Rum Punch:
    50ml's of white rum
    loads of Angostura
    30ml's of sugar syrup
    dash of water
    bit of lime juice.
    all shaken and it's great!

    You can use it in all sorts of sours and fizz's also
    50ml's of a spirit (Whiskey,Gin,Vodka and Amaretto are the usual's)
    dash of egg white
    few drops of Angostura
    dash of lemon/lime juice
    dash of sugar syrup
    again, all shaken (and with soda water if you want a fizz instead of a sour!)

    Classic Champagne cocktail:
    Single brown sugar cube soaked in Angostura
    25 ml's or so of brandy
    topped up with champagne
