Clover Club

Created at Philadelphia's Clover Club, that society's eponymous cocktail is

a refreshing, silky classic. Please check out the links to the various
documents about the Clover Club itself — at least for the awe
inspiring display of facial hair.

  • 1 ½ ounces gin
  • ½ ounce dry vermouth
  • ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
  • ½ ounce raspberry syrup
  • ¼ ounce egg white
  • Do not put ice in the shaker yet.

    Pour all the ingredients into the shaker. Dry shake for 10 seconds. Add ice

    to the shaker and shake for at least another 10 seconds. Serve in a coupe,
    garnished with a fresh raspberry.

    See this Imbibe article for the

    easy raspberry syrup recipe. I have seen recipes that suggest substituting
    grenadine for the raspberry syrup. Making the syrup is really easy and and
    it's delicious, so do give it a try.

    — The detailed description of the Clover Club as a roasting club is
    marvelous.
