Best Clover Club Cocktail Recipe

This Clover Club Cocktail is fruity, frothy, and fun to sip. Made with gin, egg white, raspberry syrup, and lemon juice, it looks and tastes fancy, but it’s simple to make!

This Clover Club Recipe is one of those classic cocktails you want to have in your arsenal when it comes to wowing guests!

While some think it was invented by the renowned Clove Club London, it actually originated in pre-prohibition Philadelphia sometime in the early 1900s. 

My “secret” for making these raspberry-flavored drinks taste extra yummy is using homemade Raspberry Simple Syrup. The recipe is SO easy — part sugar, part water, part raspberries — and the fresh berry flavor really shines.

And think of how impressed your friends and family will be when you start mixing cocktails and add an egg white! Seriously, don’t be scared to try it! This drink recipe is AMAZING!

Now, go grab your cocktail shaker and get ready to whip up this tasty drink!

Ingredients:

• Gin – This herbal-tasting liquor adds depth and flavor to the drink.
• Egg white – This makes it nice and frothy. If you’re hesitant to use raw eggs, see the FAQ below. 
• Raspberry syrup – For the signature flavor and lovely pink color! For best taste, use my Raspberry Simple Syrup recipe. Originally, the cocktail was made with grenadine, so that’s also a great substitute, but I prefer the raspberry.
• Lemon Juice – The sour taste balances the sweet syrup. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best for flavor when it comes to cocktails!
• Fresh raspberries – For garnish.

How To Make A Clover Club Cocktail:

1. Add lemon juice to a cocktail shaker.

2. Add gin to the cocktail shaker.

3. Add an egg white to the cocktail shaker.

4. Add the raspberry simple syrup to the cocktail shaker.

5. Cover and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, then add ice and shake. This is called a dry shake and is a common trick among bartenders.

Expert Tip: This cocktail is made with a dry shake (no ice), and after the initial shake, you add ice and shake vigorously for an additional 15 seconds to chill the drink. This is what allows the egg white to foam and add a creaminess to the cocktail.

6. Strain the cocktail into a glass, it’s served without ice. Note that the drink in the pictures is a double.
