About the Pegu Club

Named after the famous British officers club in Burma.

Missing something?

  • No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
  • No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
  • No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
  • No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
  • No Angostura Bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)

All swaps for Gin, Triple Sec, Lime Juice and Angostura Bitters
