Ingredients for the Clover Club Cocktail
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by filling a cocktail glass with ice to chill it. This ensures your drink remains cool and refreshing.
Step 2
In a shaker, combine 45 ml (1.5 ounces) of dry gin, 15 ml (0.5 ounces) of raspberry syrup, 22 ml (0.75 ounces) of fresh lemon juice, and 1 egg white.
Add ice to the shaker to the brim. Make sure to tightly seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This step is crucial as it combines and aerates the ingredients.
Step 3
Once shaken, remove the ice from your cocktail glass. Strain the mixture from the shaker into your chilled glass, leaving the ice behind.
Your delightful Clover Club cocktail is now ready to enjoy. Light some candles and set the mood for a perfect romantic evening!
Servings
Serving your cocktail is part of the charm! Pour the mixture into your chilled glass and use a beautiful garnish like a fresh raspberry or a slice of lemon to elevate its appearance. Serve with love and laughter to create the perfect ambiance. 🍹
Consider pairing this delightful drink with some light appetizers like cheese platters or fresh fruit to complement the refreshing flavors of your cocktail. It's all about creating a shared experience!
Equipment
A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing your ingredients thoroughly. If you don't have one, a mason jar with a lid works just as well!
Precision is key in cocktail making! Use a jigger for accurate measurements, or standard measuring spoons if that's what you have on hand.
Make sure to chill your glass by filling it with ice while you mix the cocktail. This helps maintain the drink's temperature and enhances the tasting experience.
Variations
If you're looking for some fun variations, you can easily make this cocktail gluten-free by ensuring your gin is certified gluten-free. For a vegan option, simply omit the egg white or replace it with aquafaba for that same frothy texture. 🍃
Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit syrups or even bitters to create a unique spin on this classic cocktail!
Faq
- Can I use vodka instead of gin?
Yes, vodka can be used for a smoother taste, but it will change the flavor profile of the cocktail!
- What's the best way to shake a cocktail?
Shake vigorously to mix the ingredients well—about 15-20 seconds should do. You want the shaker to feel cold in your hands!
- How can I make this cocktail without alcohol?
Try using a non-alcoholic gin or create a mocktail by combining soda water with raspberry syrup and lemon juice!
- Can I make this in bulk for a party?
Definitely! Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need, and mix it in a large pitcher. Serve over ice.
- What other fruits can I use for a twist?
Strawberry or peach syrup works wonderfully to give your cocktail a different flavor while still keeping it refreshing!
- How do I achieve that frothy texture with the egg white?
Make sure to dry shake (shake without ice) first for about 10 seconds, then add ice and shake again. This will create a beautiful froth!
