DifficultyBeginner
Shake up a stunning Clover Club cocktail with this silky, raspberry-forward recipe using gin, fresh lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white. A smooth, bright, and balanced classic cocktail that’s perfect for date nights, brunch, or vintage-themed evenings.
½ozegg white (or aquafaba for a vegan alternative)
Ice (for shaking)
Garnish: Fresh raspberry, lemon twist, or dehydrated lemon wheel
1
Add gin, lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white to a shaker without ice (this is called a dry shake).
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to build the foam.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Garnish with a single raspberry, a lemon twist, or leave it bare to showcase the foam top.
Pairing Suggestions
2
Goat cheese crostini with honey
Smoked salmon blinis
Beetroot salad with citrus vinaigrette
Raspberry macarons or lemon tart
Soft cheeses or fresh strawberries
Its creamy texture and tart raspberry profile pairs beautifully with creamy, tangy, or subtly sweet foods.
Tips & Notes
3
Use raspberry syrup made with fresh raspberries and sugar — it adds vivid flavor and color.
If you're not into egg white, aquafaba (chickpea water) is a great alternative and froths beautifully.
Double strain to keep the foam clean and avoid pulp or ice shards.
Chill your glass ahead of time — it elevates the presentation.
Dry shake first to create a stable, rich foam before adding ice.

The Clover Club was named after a gentleman’s club in Philadelphia in the late 1800s, and the drink pre-dates Prohibition. Though it was once dismissed as “too pretty,” it’s seen a full revival in recent years — even inspiring the name of one of Brooklyn’s most beloved cocktail bars.
