Ponche a Crème
In Trinidad it’s no secret that the presence of citrus makes this drink pulse with an energy only the island could produce. The orange extract found in Angostura bitters and lime zest immediately comes out to play. Unlike eggnog, which can be one-dimensional and sometimes cloying, Ponche a Crème sings with some of Trinidad’s most beloved and intriguing flavors.
