Pegu Club Cocktail (Difford's recipe)
Whatever you think of modern-day Rose's Lime Cordial (other brands are available as well as homemade recipes), as with the Gimlet, I believe lime cordial...

Very pleasant drink with wonderful zesty and citrus laden notes permeating throughout. Somewhat sacrilegious that I didn't have orange bitters, instead I did a regal shake with some mandarin twists instead. Probably not the identical or same, but it was very nice as an aperitif on a hot summer day.

I made this today, not for the first time, but I used the recipe from my little book so not sure where I got the recipe from, thought it was from here, I had 15ml of sugar syrup and yeah it was too sweet. I’ll stick to the recipe from here lol

I often choose cocktails based on their make-ability. I came across this one at a pub called "The Library" in a local B&B because I had all of the ingredients at home. Delightful! I use our local sake-like WonderBird Gin with the Orang Curacao. Perfect!

I didn’t have lime cordial so used home made Falernum . Also used my home made orange curaçao. Lovely.

Perennial favourite. My go-to with Asian food.

In my opinion a little bit of dilution improves the drink.

If using Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead of dry curaçao - do you need to omit the sugar syrup? How do they differ in sweetness?

Cointreau has 223g/l sugar. Grand Marnier 214g/l (older bots 220-230g/l. I estimate Dry Curacao is approx 190g/l. So the difference in sugar on just 20ml is so small that the sourness of your limes will play a greater role in the balance of this cocktail.

I think this would be worth trying with Jeffrey Morgenthaller’s lime cordial recipe instead of juice.

Great shout. I'll try.
