Found at The DrinkBoyChannel. He describes it thusly:
Originally the specialty cocktail of the Pegu Club in Burma during the early 1900’sThis drink has unfortunately fallen on tough times, and it is difficult, if not impossible, to find a bartender who knows how to make one, much less has heard of it. It is however a wonderful drink, and well worth re-discovery. When properly made, it should have a bit of a citrus backbone, around which the Angostura and orange bitters are providing some interesting spice. The gin itself is just barely noticeable, making it a great drink for somebody who may not normally tend towards gin based libations. Its overall profile is one of complex but approachable flavors.
Give one a try, and you’ll see why this is on my shortlist of favorite cocktails.
I haven’t tried this, yet but am putting it here as a reminder to do so.
