The Pegu Club

This is simply a classic cocktail. You can have it "as is" or spice it up with different citrus elements. If you like Cosmopolitans or fruity gin drinks - or even just old-school martinis - you'll like this drink.

The Pegu Club
adapted from The Joy of Mixology

1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. triple sec (or orange curacao)
2 oz. gin
few dashes angostura bitters
few dashes orange bitters (I actually use Peychauds bitters or grapefruit bitters - this is one of the places where you can jazz it up if you like)

- Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake and pour into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a cherry and lime or orange wheel (optional).
