The Pegu Club Cocktail, originating in early 20th century Southeast Asia, is gaining popularity with slight modifications. This gin-based drink omits egg whites and incorporates two bitters, using Grand Marnier instead of traditional triple sec. The recipe includes gin, Grand Marnier, lime juice, and bitters, resulting in a savory cocktail.
