From the Bartender

The dual-bitters combination - Angostura for warm spice and orange bitters for floral citrus depth - is the cocktail's defining signature; neither should be omitted. The Pegu Club in Rangoon served this as a sundowner to British colonial officers in the 1920s, and it became one of Harry Craddock's featured recipes in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.
