Pegu Club (cocktail)[edit | edit source]
The Pegu Club is a gin-based cocktail that originated in the 1920s. It was named after the Pegu Club in Rangoon, Burma, a gentlemen's club for British officers and civil servants during the British colonial period.
History[edit | edit source]
The Pegu Club cocktail was first mentioned in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. The book describes the cocktail as the signature drink of the Pegu Club. The cocktail was largely forgotten after the fall of the British Empire, but it has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The Pegu Club cocktail is made with the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 ounces of gin
- 3/4 ounce of Cointreau
- 1/2 ounce of lime juice
- 1 dash of Angostura bitters
- 1 dash of orange bitters
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare the Pegu Club cocktail, combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime twist.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Pegu Club cocktail. Some recipes substitute the Cointreau with Grand Marnier or triple sec. Others add a dash of absinthe for an extra kick.
