ABOUT
Say hello this classic cocktail that dates back to the 1920s, where it was created at the Pegu Club in Myanmar (then Burma). It is very much a lesser known of the dry/sour cocktails, but akin to the daiquiri, gimlet, or margarita. If you like a tart gin drink, this will not disappoint. Cheers y’all!
