The Pegu Club Cocktail

I feel like it’s time for a cocktail – because this, my friends, has been a very long forthnight indeed. On Easter Monday, our dog Brutus decided that eating a small latex ball was a really good idea… and I think you can probably guess what happened next.

A trip to the emergency vet, an X-ray, emergency surgery to remove the ball and two nights away from us while he recoverd from surgery. Those few days seemed like an eternity of worry and stress – I don’t think I have cried this much  in quite some time.

Brutus came back home on Wednesday last week and he seems – fingers crossed – back to being himself. All the more reason to down a couple of cocktails tonight and this little-known gem – the Pegu Club – is perfect for Spring. The Pegu Club was the signature drink of Burma’s (now Myanmar) club of the same name.

It combines gin with orange curacao, lime juice and bitters. I have replaced the curacao with Cointreau but you could also use Grand Marnier. This is a pretty cocktail that looks pretty innocent but is actually quite strong. Serve in a chilled glass, like these beautiful hand blown coupes from White Company – currently on sale.

    I’ve not heard of this cocktail, but when you described it I thought oh yes please.

    This looks like a very tasty drink. So glad Brutus is doing well. Silly dogs – my basset hound once ate some bread that he snatched. We ended up at emergency care, but he was fine after a few hours of observation. 🙂

      I never thought the dog would be more troublesome than my kids but boy was I wrong!

      Not sure if you mean whether you can swap out the spirits in the cocktail for alternative spirits… If you take out the alchohol you will end up with juice!
