Made a Clover Club for the first time tonight. Most effort was put into making the raspberry syrup, but otherwise the recipe is very simple.
Froth, shake, then double-strain the following into a coupe:
1.5 oz London dry gin
0.5 oz Cocchi Extra Dry
0.5 oz homemade raspberry syrup*
0.5 oz lemon juice
White of one egg
The Clover Club has a flavor more complex than one might think. On first sip, it is very gin-forward, then the fresh raspberry flavor starts taking over after a couple more sips. The savory, herbal flavor of vermouth is most noticeable in the finish. This is a very good, satisfying cocktail with a beautiful, delicate pink color that is hard to capture on camera. I highly recommend trying it.
* My raspberry syrup is a simple 24-hour maceration of equal weight of raspberries and sugar that is then finely strained and fortified with some brandy.
