The Clover Club cocktail is a classic drink originating from the early 20th century. It is known for its elegance, freshness, and light berry flavor. Here’s the traditional recipe:
Ingredients:
- Gin – 50 ml
- Raspberry syrup – 15 ml
- Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) – 15 ml
- Egg white – 1
- Ice – for shaking
Instructions:
- Prepare the shaker: Add the gin, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and egg white to the shaker.
- Dry shake: Shake the ingredients well without ice first. This “dry shake” helps create a nice foam from the egg white.
- Add ice: Fill the shaker with ice and shake again to chill the drink.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh raspberries or a twist of lemon peel.
Tips:
- You can make raspberry syrup at home by mixing raspberries with sugar and water, then straining the mixture.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, slightly reduce the amount of syrup.
The Clover Club cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy refined flavors with a touch of tartness.
