This Episode's Cast of Characters

What goes together better than gin and orange?  Probably many things.  Who knows?  That’s not what this episode is about.  This episode is about drinks with gin and orange liqueur, what it’s like to attend Science of the Cocktail and what it means to pay the ultimate price.   Give a listen will you?


First up is an oldie from the 1920s named after the famous French Olympian fencer Lucien Gaudin.   It’s called the Lucien Gaudin Cocktail. 


Lucien Gaudin Cocktail


1 ounce gin
1/2 ounce Cointreau 
1/2 ounce Campari
1/2 ounce dry vermouth 


Stir in a mixing glass with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist. 


This makes for a lovely amber cocktail.  Listen to the show for the Gents thoughts on the taste!

Next up is a drink from the old drinking days in colonial 1920s Burma!  (You might know it as Myanmar but it will always be Burma to me.). It’s time for the Pegu Club Cocktail!


Pegu Club Cocktail 


1 1/2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce Cointreau 
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice 
2 dashes Angostura Bitters


Shake in an ice filled cocktail shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.



Full disclosure, the Gents forgot the bitters first time around and so there are two pictures of the same drink.  Maybe try it yourself and leave a comment on how you prefer it.
