Pegu Club Cocktail

The Pegu Club Cocktail

1 1/2 oz gin (Bombay Sapphire)
1/2 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Recipe from Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails by Ted Haigh


This cocktail dating from around the 1920's was the house cocktail of the Pegu Club in Rangoon, Burma and is a really really good gin cocktail. Make this drink for those who say they don't like gin cocktails. Not too sour, the fresh lime juice really makes this a refreshing drink.
