CHAT
Like many classic cocktails, details around its creation are a little hazy. What we do know is that this drink was created for the Clover Club who would meet in Philadelphia’s Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. The earliest mention of this drink in print was found in Paul E. Lowe’s 1909 cocktail book “Drinks - How to Mix and Serve”. Simply add a mint leaf garnish to this classic and you’ve got yourself a Clover Leaf Cocktail.
TWIST/HACK
If you’re making this drink for guests, and any of them happen to be vegetarian or vegan, swap out the egg white for Aquafaba (Chickpea water) to keep the viscosity and foam head that the egg white provides. You could also switch out the fresh raspberries for raspberry syrup but beware not all syrup tastes the same.
