Clover Club Cocktail with Fresh Raspberries
A classic cocktail with raspberries dating back to the Pre-Prohibition era.
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- small mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz gin
- ¾ oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4-6 raspberries
- ½ oz simple syrup (see notes for recipe)
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Add the gin, lemon juice, and raspberries to a cocktail shaker.
- Muddle the raspberries with a muddler or a back of a spoon, enough to smoosh them a bit. No need to pulverize them as that will just make it more difficult to strain later.
- Add the simple syrup and the egg white.
- Do a "dry shake" (without ice) in your cocktail shaker for 20-30 seconds.
- Add ice ("wet shake") and shake well from 30-45 seconds. The more you shake it, the better the foam.
- Double-strain* into a coupe glass.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries.
Notes
To make simple syrup, look at this easy 2-ingredient, 5-minute recipe.
*To double strain, pour the cocktail into a small mesh strainer over the glass. This will catch all the small raspberry seeds and pulp that find their way through the strainer that's built into your cocktail shaker or your Hawthorne strainer.
