History

Created by David Wondrich for Fatty Crab in Manhattan and named as a joke after a fictitious British officers' club (like the Pegu Club), but apparently there is an actual Poona Club in India. See NYT link for history. Wondrich gives his proportions in a tweet (also linked).

Dirty Flyer

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (gin infused with olive brine (see Notes))
1⁄2 oz Crème de Violette
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice (Ruby Red)
1⁄8 oz Sherry vinegar (Columela Solera 30 Reserva)
1⁄2 oz Lavender syrup
1 Egg white
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
Garnish with a tiny sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Notes

1. The Gin. I bought a jar of Moroccan-style olives, poured out all of the brine, refilled the jar with gin, and let it "steep" for at least a week.
2. The Grapefruit. This particular grapefruit has a tiny bit of sweetness.
3. The sherry vinegar. I found this particular "high performance" version a few years ago and it really makes a difference. You don't want "vinegar." Rather, you want a very flavorful Sherry vinegar.

Is that simple syrup, Chinotto, or simple made out of Chinotto? Thanks,  Zachary

Hi Zachary,  it's a simple made of chinotto soda and cane sugar.

How sweet this end ? Nearly same part sweet and strong

kquinbar commented on 7/28/2019:

i just made one adjustment and cut the orgeat back to .5 oz. i think that helps balance it out a bit more, so not quite as sweet as the 1st version.
