History

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. The original recipe called for equal parts, including the bitters - surely a mistake.

PETER PAN COCKTAIL.
¼ Peach Bitters.
¼ Orange Juice.
¼ French Vermouth.
¼ Dry Gin.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.

Harry Craddock, 1930

Very fruity. Peach is dominant here. Good though.

I used Old Raj Red, Gabriel Boudier Crème de Pêches, and Cinzano 1757.

Would try again with a navy strength gin.

I wasn't optimistic with dry vermouth and orange juice being together in this.. Lo and behold, I was out of Noilly and subbed in Lillet Blanc... One of the peachiest cocktails I've tried, wow! I did have Bitter Truth Peach Bitters on hand, which arguably faded into the background... Like the suggestions below, a template worthy of experimentation.

After reading John's comments below, I spiked mine with pear brandy, and went with the Angostura. Quite nice.

Interesting cocktail. Did not have Peach bitters and did not want to use all Angostura, so we opted for part orange bitters and part Angostura bitters. Was a very nice, orange-flavoured with a hint of herbal. Did feel it could use another ingredient - perhaps a little peach brandy or falernum. Haven't decided yet.

So we tried an experiment with the remaining parts of the cocktails we had. Tried both a little peach liqueur and falernum. The peach won. It does change the flavour profile of the drink, but adds a punch.
