The Pegu Club cocktail dates back to British colonial Burma and was named after a famous social club in Rangoon. It combines gin, orange liqueur, lime, and bitters.
It shares similarities with other citrus forward classics but has its own distinctive balance. The bitters add a subtle complexity that sets it apart. It is crisp, refreshing, and quietly sophisticated.
