Cointreau | My Daily Cocktail

Pegu Club

Attributed to the Pegu Club in Rangoon, a British officers’ club of the 19th century, this tart, refreshing drink is perfect for an end of day wind down. So, I lost a squash match to my arch rival in 5 games (final game score 12-10) today, but who cares? I am having a Pegu Club cocktail and all is right in my universe again.

My recipe:

1.5 oz dry London gin (Plymouth tonight)

.5 oz Cointreau

.5 oz Squeezed lime juice

1 dash Angostura bitters

1 dash Fee Bros orange bitters

Garnish with sprig of rosemary

I have been wanting to make this cocktail for a few weeks now. It seems like a good opportunity because Diane wanted to go with one of her favorites and I was not in the mood for gin since it’s snowing outside. I pretty much stuck with the recipe from the 1920s except I went with brandy instead of cognac.

1 ounce rum — white rum…I used Bacardi
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce brandy (Copper and Kings)
1/2 ounce lemon juice
