Equipment

  • Shaker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces London dry gin
  • ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¾ ounce triple sec orange-flavored liqueur
  • 1 dash aromatic Angostura bitters
  • 1 dash orange-flavored bitters
  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup
  • 1 small sprig of fresh thyme for garnish
  • Lime peel twist for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

  • Before you begin, ensure you have an ice-filled cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, and a fine mesh strainer or Hawthorne strainer. Each tool will assist in creating a well-mixed drink.

Step 2: Measure Your Ingredients

  • Carefully measure out 2 ounces of London dry gin, ¾ ounce trip sec, and ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice using your jigger. Precision matters since these proportions dictate flavor balance.

Step 3: Add the Sweetness

  • Pour in 1 teaspoon of simple syrup. This will introduce a gentle sweetness that complements the tart lime juice without overwhelming it.

Step 4: Introduce the Bitters

  • Add a dash of both aromatic and orange-flavored bitters. This is where you bring in additional complexity and depth to your cocktail.

Step 5: Shake It Up

  • Place all the ingredients in your ice-filled shaker. Close it tightly and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. You want it thoroughly chilled and mixed.

Step 6: Strain and Serve

  • Using your strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass. The strainer helps eliminate ice shards, leaving you with a silky drink.

Step 7: Garnish

  • Finish the cocktail with a small sprig of fresh thyme and a twist of lime peel. This garnishing step adds a visual appeal and an aromatic touch when sipping.

Notes

  • Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with different dry gins to discover your preferred taste.
  • Chill your glassware beforehand to maintain the cocktail's temperature.
  • If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the simple syrup slightly.
  • The Pegu Club cocktail can be made in larger batches for parties. Just multiply the ingredients while keeping the ratios the same.
