Clover Club

The Clover Club is a classic cocktail that dates back to the late 19th century. It is a delightful combination of gin, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and egg white, resulting in a refreshing and frothy drink.

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces (60ml) gin
• 3/4 ounce (22ml) fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 ounce (22ml) raspberry syrup
• 1/2 ounce (15ml) egg white (optional)
• Ice
• Fresh raspberries or lemon twist, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, fresh lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white (if using). The egg white adds a frothy texture to the drink, but you can omit it if preferred.
2. Fill the shaker with ice. Make sure to use enough ice to chill the cocktail and create a good amount of dilution.
3. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to incorporate the ingredients, chill the drink, and create a frothy texture.
4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or a martini glass. If desired, you can also strain it into a rocks glass filled with ice for a refreshing variation.
5. Garnish the Clover Club cocktail with fresh raspberries or a lemon twist for an extra touch of elegance.
6. Serve and enjoy this classic cocktail creation!

The Clover Club cocktail is known for its balanced combination of tartness from the lemon juice, sweetness from the raspberry syrup, and the botanical notes of gin. It's a perfect choice for gin enthusiasts or those looking for a sophisticated and visually appealing drink. Cheers!
