Clover Club
A bright raspberry gin sour with a smooth foam and vivid color.
The Clover Club mixes gin, lemon, raspberry syrup, and egg white into a vibrant pink sour with silky texture. Shaken first without ice then cold, it builds lush foam over crisp citrus and red-fruit notes. Its profile is tart but rounded, showing how fruit syrups can balance botanicals. This pre-Prohibition drink comes from Philadelphia’s Clover Club, where businessmen gathered for elaborate multi-course dinners and cocktails.
