**Clover-Club - Cocktail** Step into a world of creamy, tart, and beautiful pink sips with the **Clover Club Cocktail**, a classic that's as lovely to look at as it is to drink! This delightful **Cocktail** combines the botanical notes of **Gin** with tart fresh **lemon juice** for vibrant **Citrus**, **Sweetened** raspberry syrup for color and flavor, and a key ingredient (egg white or equivalent) to create its signature **Foamy**, **Emulsified** texture. It's a sophisticated **Sour Cocktail** that's first "dry shaken" to emulsify, then **Shaken** with ice and **Served Up** in a chilled **Cocktail glass**. **Ingredients:** * 4.5cl Gin * 1.5cl lemon juice * 1.5cl raspberry syrup * 1 egg white or 20 ml aquafaba or 4 drops cocktail foamer **Preparation:** 1. Chill your **Cocktail glass** thoroughly. 2. In a **cocktail shaker**, combine the **Gin**, fresh **lemon juice**, raspberry syrup, and egg white (or aquafaba or foamer). Do *not* add ice yet. 3. **Dry shake** the ingredients (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white and create a stable foam. 4. Now, add ice cubes to the shaker. 5. **Shake** again, hard, for another 15-20 seconds until the shaker is frosty and the drink is well-chilled. 6. **Strain** the mixture through a fine mesh strainer (to catch any ice chips) into your chilled **Cocktail glass**. 7. Serve **Straight up**, without ice. **Notes and Tips:** * The dry shake followed by the shake with ice is essential for achieving the proper **Foamy**, silky texture characteristic of drinks with egg white or aquafaba. * Using fresh **lemon juice** provides the perfect **Citrus** and **Sour** balance for the **Sweetened** syrup and richness of the foam. * Homemade raspberry syrup is ideal for the freshest flavor and vibrant pink color, but good quality store-bought works too. * A classic garnish is a few drops of raspberry syrup or **bitters** swirled on top of the foam. * Aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) or commercial cocktail foamers are great vegan alternatives to egg white that also create a lovely foam. **History or Origin:** The **Clover Club Cocktail** originated before Prohibition, likely at the Clover Club, a men's club in Philadelphia's Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century.
