Easy ways to adjust Clover Club
For a sharper version, increase the citrus slightly. For a rounder version, add a touch more sweetener or use a richer base ingredient, but avoid hiding the fresh acidity.
When to choose it
How to decide if Clover Club is right for you
Clover Club is best when you want brightness and a clean tart edge. Choose it if citrus balance matters more than richness, creaminess or heavy sweetness. The listed serve is about 19.6% ABV, so strength is part of the decision.
Skip if
Skip Clover Club if...
Skip Clover Club if tart citrus is not what you want. Sour-style drinks rely on acidity, so they can feel sharp when you are looking for richness or sweetness.
About this drink
The Clover Club cocktail predates Prohibition and is named for the Philadelphia men's club that met at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. Its raspberry, gin and egg-white structure made it fashionable before later falling out of favor and returning with the modern classic-cocktail revival.
