How to make a Pegu Club Cocktail
This is a fairly old cocktail which is just now being rediscovered. Dating back to the 1920's this was the house cocktail at the "Pegu Club" in Rangoon. I often use this drink to help people who claim they don't like gin realize that there really isn't anything to be afraid of.

Sorbik, the glass he uses is an antique champagne coupe. You can find them in antique stores. It is probably 4 or 5 ounces. Thank you for watching! Small Screen

This is a great cocktail. I have made this with triple-sec and blood orange liquor. Both good variants. Must have good quality bitters. FYI:Coupe glasses or available on Amazon.

It was delicious with Grand Marnier. Which bitters did you like with this cocktail?

[@DanMowry]

I hope so. The original, printed definition of what makes a cocktail is Spirit, Sugar, and Bitters. Finer bars, clubs, restaurants use it normally and there's nothing unusual about it. Places that cater to a less discerning patron often never use bitters - but it's a fairly standard ingredient (and there's a lot to choose from!).

[@DanMowry]

No, not really. They taste the same by most accounts. Some of us are a little sensitive to the artificial coloring and can detect a very faint "bitter" taste to it - but you'd never notice once it's mixed into a cocktail.

[@FabianAbryLundBerle]

does he always use bitters, in every single drink?

[@ItzAnArt]

where can I get a glass like that? It looks like a champagne glass but what type is it and who sells them?

[@garlicgirl3149]

I think I like your measurements better with this one. Slightly less lime juice.

[@ItzAnArt]

Also, what size is the glass, 3 ounces?

[@eternallord]

Does the use of blue curacao make any difference aside from color?

[@roywagner5678]

No, if the same brand.

[@ballsdeepinglory3054]

The worst stirring i've seen so far ! that's churning ! :p
