It's a little pricey, but it's often on offer in the supermarkets and I find it mixes really nicely. ND - I'l have to give that a go. On the subject of lots of bitters and Pegu Clubs, be sure to check out Gonçalo's <a href="http://ohgo.sh/archive/juniper-club-pendennis-club-cocktail-recipe/" rel="nofollow">Juniper Club Cocktail</a> if you haven't already. It's a very tasty play on the Pegu Club. DJ - True, though as a fan of Sidecars I'm used to my Cognac supply draining pretty fast. Not so comfortable with my bitters bottles emptying as quickly... ;-) Chris – I used Rémy Martin VSOP, which is the only Cognac I tend to keep in for mixing.

It seems to me not as impressive a trick as draining your cognac supply at that rate…

In any case, man oh man, what a great cocktail! You like Pegu Clubs, so I'd suggest you try substituting lime juice in place of lemon… it makes for a surprising difference from the original (you'd think all those bitters would tend to mask the other flavours), and an equally awesome cocktail.
