Clover Club
This delicious, and festive looking cocktail is perfect for festive or other special occasions, but is so delicious it certainly shouldn't be limited to only enjoying at those times!
Predating prohibition (the period when alcohol was banned in the USA), this deliciously festive looking cocktail was named after a gentlemans club of the same name in Philadelphia. It appeared in printed recipes as early as 1917.
Ingredients:
45ml Gin (I like this with Klopman's Duivelskral Gin)
10ml Sugar Syrup & 5 Raspberries
(Alternatively, 15ml of raspberry or grenadine syrup can be used)
1 Egg White (or 20ml of aquafaba if preferred)
To Garnish:
Three raspberries
Method:
In a cocktail shaker add all the ingredients and dry shake (without ice) vigorously to emulsify them, and break up the raspberries. Carefully open the shaker and add a few large cubes of ice and shake again for 10 - 15 seconds, to ensure the cocktail is thoroughly chilled. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a few raspberries threaded on a cocktail stick. (Straining ensures the pips from the raspberries are removed from the drink, making it more pleasant to drink).
