Pegu Club
Bill Norris, of Alamo Drafthouse and Midnight Cowboy, pours one out for the Pegu Club, the beloved New York cocktail mecca that has permanently closed in the wake of COVID-19.
Ingredients
- ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
- ¾ ounce orange curaçao, such as Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao or Grand Marnier (something with a cognac or brandy base works best, but in a pinch—or a global pandemic—Cointreau or similar will work too)
- 2 ounces of a traditional London dry–style gin
- 1 dash angostura bitters
- 1 dash orange bitters
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake hard for at least 10 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a slice or wheel of lime.
Notes
This drink is best very cold.
