About the Clover Club

Named after a Philadelphia gentlemen's club that met from the 1880s. Later dismissed as a ladies' drink, it was rediscovered by craft bartenders.

Created 1900s in Philadelphia, USA. Listed as an official cocktail by the International Bartenders Association.

Bartender's tip: Dry shake for a silkier foam that holds the raspberry garnish.

A coupe. The stem keeps your hand away from the cold drink, and the curved rim makes it far harder to spill than a V-shaped martini glass.

Shaken. It contains citrus, juice, cream or egg, which need the force and aeration of shaking.
How strong is a Clover Club?
About 12% ABV after dilution, or roughly 1 US standard drinks (14 g of alcohol) per serve.
How many calories are in a Clover Club?
Roughly 156 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol.
Can I make a Clover Club without London dry gin?
Yes. Vodka is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.
