Pegu Gin Kickback



The River of the Lost Footsteps and the Golden Mystery upon 
its Banks. The Iniquity of Jordan. Shows how a Man may go 
to the Shway Dagon Pagoda and see it not and to the 
Pegu Club and hear too much.


As you calculate the odds of Great Britain being able to defend itself against, say, Schleswig Holstein, what better way to steady the nerves than a stiff Pegu Gin.

Named after the famous Pegu Club, which is now sadly abandoned, the Pegu is a kind of Gin Margarita, ideally suited for warm climates such as Burma or Texas. It goes like this.


2 ounces++ dry gin
1/2 ounce orange Curacao
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 Dash Angostura Bitters
1 Dash Orange Bitters

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well, and strain into a chilled glass. Go light on the orange and strong on the lime if you're smart.


Then, as you ponder the capacity of the Sceptered Isle to protect itself in the absence of even having a plan to do so, kick back and drink your Pegu Gin like a warrior.

Cheers,
