2 Ounces Gin<\/h3>
This recipe uses gin, particularly one with stronger citrus notes that can help complement the other flavors in the cocktail. If you want to control the citrus profile, you can also opt for one with a more floral taste.<\/p>
London Dry Gin is the go-to for this recipe, but feel free to swap it for your favorite bottle.<\/p>
1 Dash Angostura Bitters<\/h3>
Angostura bitters are present in anything from a Manhattan to a Whiskey Sour. This secret blend of herbs and spices<\/a> helps balance the other ingredients in the Pegu Club.<\/p> You can also use other aromatic bitters to change the taste profile.<\/p> Orange bitters give the Pegu Club a distinct citrus taste, though not everyone’s a fan of their flavor because of their blend of spices like cardamom and anise.<\/p> If that’s you, swap the orange bitters for another dash of Angostura bitters. You’ll get plenty more citrus from the lime juice and orange liqueur.<\/p> Pegu Club needs a type of orange liqueur, usually Orange Cura\u00e7ao, thanks to its dry finish.<\/p> But you can replace it with:<\/p> The original recipe that was first published in the ABC of Mixing Cocktails by Harry McElhone used a specific brand of preserved lime juice instead of fresh.<\/p> Later texts, like the Savoy Cocktail Book by Harry Craddock, dropped the brand entirely and recommended fresh juice, which is what’s used even today.<\/p> You’re free to choose either, though fresh juice can provide a stronger taste and has little sugar.<\/p> If you don’t have the tools for mixing cocktails, you can replace the shaker with a mason jar and strain the Pegu Club using a small mesh strainer.<\/p> If you want to make slight changes to the original formula, you can skip Cointreau or other orange bitters and add a dash more aromatic bitters for a smoother, more herbal blend.<\/p> You can also add simple syrup (sugar and water) if you want to balance out the sourness of the lime. Some modern recipes also play with other fruit profiles, such as blueberry or raspberry, to give this drink an extra refreshing layer next to the lime.<\/p> Love the pegu club cocktail?
