Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (60 ml) London Dry Gin
- ¾ ounce (22 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
- ¾ ounce (22 ml) Raspberry Syrup
- 1 large fresh egg white (approx. 15 ml), or 1 ounce aquafaba for vegan
- 3 Fresh Raspberries or small lemon twist, for garnish
Instructions:
- Chill the Glass: Place the coupe or Martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while preparing the Clover Club Cocktail.
- Combine Ingredients: Measure and pour the gin, fresh lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and the egg white directly into the cocktail shaker tin. Do not add ice yet.
- Perform the Dry Shake (Emulsification): Secure the shaker lid tightly. Shake the mixture vigorously and continuously for 45 to 60 seconds. The goal is to emulsify the egg white and create a thick, stable foam layer before chilling.
- Add Ice: Fill the shaker two-thirds full with large, solid ice cubes.
- Perform the Wet Shake (Dilution and Chilling): Shake vigorously again for another 15 to 20 seconds. This step chills and dilutes the cocktail slightly.
- Double Strain: Remove the chilling ice water from the coupe glass. Place the fine-mesh strainer over the glass and pour the contents of the shaker through it. This ensures a smooth, silky texture.
- Allow the Foam to Settle: Let the cocktail rest briefly (10-15 seconds) to allow the thick, white foam to rise and settle on the surface.
- Garnish: Place the three fresh raspberries artfully on the foam layer, or express the oil from a lemon twist over the drink. Serve immediately.
