Equipment

cocktail shaker
Strainer
Cocktail glass

Ingredients

2 ounces gin (60ml)
¾ ounces raspberry syrup (22ml)
½ ounce lemon juice (15ml)
1 ounce egg white (30ml)

Instructions

Combine the gin, syrup, lemon juice, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake for 10 seconds.
Add the ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with fresh raspberries or lemon peel.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients wherever possible to get the best-tasting drink. In other words, opt for fresh lemon juice instead of bottled, and make homemade raspberry syrup instead of using store-bought.
Don’t skip the dry shaking step (i.e. the part where you shake without ice). Shaking without ice allows air to be incorporated into the mixture, which contributes to the creation of a rich foam or froth. This is especially important when using egg white. Dry shaking also helps avoid too much dilution at the initial mixing stage, which results in a more potent final flavor.
If you’d like to make a vegan Clover Club, swap in unsalted aquafaba (i.e. the liquid from a can of chickpeas).
Shaken cocktails are meant to be sipped with expediency. This is not a batch cocktail, so make each cocktail as you’re ready to serve it. Consider freezing your stemware to help maintain a chilly temperature.
