Clover Club
Crisp, dry, and refreshing. Gin with lemon and raspberry.
First mentioned in 1911 in the Washington Post and the New York Times. The drink had already been around for a while for it be highlighted in both cities, and the Washington post article had already changed the original raspberry syrup for grenadine. The drink was created at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia and named after the Clover Club Gentleman’s Club, a prominent group of business men, literary types and legal experts. The drink is written up in Beverages De Luxe in 1911, however, the recipe there is unlike any other mentioned, and it is the 1931 Old Warldorf Bar Days recipe that has stood the test of time. We make ours with South Gin, raspberries, fresh lemon juice, egg white and a hint of dry vermouth.
