What is Pegu Club?
The Pegu Club cocktail is one of those classic drinks that quietly proves gin can be both bold and beautifully balanced. Bright citrus meets smooth orange liqueur, while a few dashes of bitters add depth that keeps each sip interesting. It is crisp, aromatic, and just complex enough to feel elevated without being fussy. If you love structured, spirit-forward cocktails like a Manhattan, but want something lighter and more refreshing, this one deserves a spot on your bar menu.
Originally crafted in the early 20th century, the Pegu Club delivers a refreshing mix of gin, lime juice, and orange liqueur that feels both timeless and modern. It is a fantastic choice for dinner parties, warm evenings, or anytime you want a cocktail that tastes refined yet approachable. I believe this is one of those underappreciated classics that instantly upgrades your home bar game.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
