This adaptation of the classic from the British social club in Burma comes via David Lebovitz, whose "Drinking French" cookbook came out in March, just in time for us all to be on lockdown with our liquor cabinets. He's been posting many recipes on his website, including this likely looking lovely. Très charmant.
He's also posted a French variation on a Negroni, which has long been among my favorite cocktails, even before I saw Stanley Tucci's recent home-bound video of him making his straight-up version of a Negroni. Molto affascinante. (Or at least that's what Google's translation claims.)
Pegu Club cocktail
Ingredients
2 ounces gin
¾ ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec
½ ounce lime juice (about half a small lime’s worth)
1 teaspoon simple syrup
Dash of aromatic bitters
Dash of orange bitters
Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill two-thirds full with ice. Shake for nearly as long as it takes to wash your hands these days. Strain into a coupe or other cocktail glass. Sip gracefully, and gratefully.
