Cocktail Of The Week : Pegu Club

"The favorite cocktail of the Pegu Club, Burma,
"The favorite cocktail of the Pegu Club, Burma,
and one that has traveled, and is asked for, round the world."
Harry Craddock
The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930)

Pegu Club
2 oz Gin
1 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Angostura Bitters to taste

Combine in a shaker with ice. Shake well until very cold and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

This cocktail is easy to make and is quite refreshing.  Use a straight-forward Gin like Gordons, Beefeater, or Tanqueray.  There is no need to pull out an expensive or nuanced gin for this cocktail.  Cointreau is a very good Triple Sec.  Use a fresh lime.
