As was mentioned above, subbing them in tiki recipes calling for Angostura works really well. I like to work grapefruit bitters into some recipes using grapefruit juice, especially if the juice is a bit on the watery or sweet side. I also have a roasted pineapple bitters that is nice in many tiki drinks. I've been considering trying a coffee bitters I have in some of the coffee-containing drinks that call for Angostura, or maybe a combo of the Elemakule bitters and the coffee bitters. I'm at about 22 different bitters in my cabinet right now but I'd only consider 3 essential (Angostura, Peychaud's and an orange bitters) with maybe 8 - 10 that get used somewhat frequently. The rest are just things that sounded interesting enough to want to check out.
