Created by Italian bartender Valentino Bolognese, Trinidad Especial cocktail was the 2008 winning drink in the Angostura European Cocktail Competition in Paris.

Trinidad Sour cocktail was created in 2009 by Giuseppe Gonzalez at Clover Club Bar in Brooklyn, USA.

Now listed in the New Era Drinks category of the International Bartenders Association, seems to make a serious point for those who doubt Angostura as the main ingredient.
