Created at Philadelphia's Clover Club, that society's eponymous cocktail is
a refreshing, silky classic. Please check out the links to the variousdocuments about the Clover Club itself — at least for the aweinspiring 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 substitutinggrenadine for the raspberry syrup. Making the syrup is really easy and andit's delicious, so do give it a try.Cocktail Photo by Lisa Denkinger
