ABOUT
Meet the modern classic created by Audrey Saunders in 2005 when she opened the legendary Pegu Club (NYC; now closed). This was her take on a house Manhattan. The idea of swapping an amaro in for the bitters occurred to Saunders during a dinner at the New York restaurant Raoul's. Saunders preferred Rittenhouse when they created it. Cheers y’all!
