Pegu Club Cocktail — The Cocktail Ontologist

Variants (2)

Harry of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails by Harry of Ciro's (1923, p.69) — Harry of Ciro's 1923

1 teaspoonful	lime juice — Lime Juice (Rose's)	acid
1 dash	Angostura bitters — Angostura Bitters	base
0.75 glass	gin	base
1 dash	orange bitters — Orange Bitters	bitter
0.5 glass	Orange curacao — Curacao (Orange)	modifier

This matters because it gives us a clear London 1923 Pegu Club checkpoint in the interwar gin-citrus field.

The Rose's lime and paired bitters are the key source-specific details here.

Barflies and Cocktails by Harry McElhone and Wynn (1927, p.61) — Barflies 1927

1 teaspoonful	lime juice — Lime Juice (Rose's)	acid
1 dash	Angostura bitters — Angostura Bitters	base
0.67 part	gin	base
1 dash	orange bitters — Orange Bitters	bitter
0.17 part	Orange curacao — Curacao (Orange)	modifier

This matters because it preserves a clean late McElhone control point for the Pegu Club line.
