The Clover Club is a classic cocktail most likely created sometime in the late 1800s. It was named after the Clover Club in Philadelphia and would later reach notoriety when it was served at the Waldorf Hotel (or maybe the Astoria) in New York. At the time, the two were separate hotels built by rival relatives and had connections to the Stratford Belvue in Philadephia, where the Clover Club was also served. It’s a family story as old as time… rich people with far too much money feuding over stupid stuff. The hotels were eventually torn down to build the Empire State Building.

#Cocktails #CloverClub #ClassicCocktails

One of the drinks to be revived over the last 15 to 20 years and given a second life is the Clover Club doesn’t really fit into the type of cocktails that I usually make here being that it’s not tropical Tiki or Rum based but it does

Use an ingredient and in this case a couple ingredients that I have on hand and I want to explore other ways for us to use some of those ingredients whether it’s a syrup that takes time to make or a vermouth that we only have a few weeks

To use if we go to all the trouble to either make these things or find these ingredients then we should have a couple of drinks on hand to use in addition to the one we got it for I recently shared a video called The White Flag which uses

The cream syrup found in the tropical standard book for the bird of paradise cocktail and another syrup from that recipe is a raspberry syrup it’s pretty easy to make and I’ll leave a recipe for that in this episode’s description I happen to have some of that raspberry

Syrup on hand that I made from some like leftover raspberries I had and I thought there’s no better classic cocktail to use that in than the Clover Club the cocktail was probably originally created in the late 1800s at the Clover Club in Philadelphia it went on to become

Popularized in the early 1900s when the drink was served at the Waldorf at Storia in New York and the drink didn’t really make it past prohibition but finds a second life in 2008 when Julie Riner opened the Clover Club in Brooklyn with their eponymous cocktail the Clover

Club now I was curious to see at least online if there were any previous mentioned of the Clover Club or at least in abundance online prior to Julie Riner opening the Clover Club bar and in fact the only real one that I saw was a recipe in 2007 from David wondrich you

Can find the history of the Clover Club covered by David wri in the Oxford companion to spirits and Cocktails as well as a few other articles that he has written online now I like to check to see if I can find earlier references or recipes to cocktails through newspaper

Archives mag magazines and online libraries see if I can find something that’s either visually appealing or even possibly to find something new and I found a reference from 1849 referencing the Clover Club cocktail no recipe just a reference interesting nonetheless a reference about 50 years before all of the other

Ones but as I’ve mentioned here uh recently even solid sources will lie to you as I was flipping through the booill news from Santa Fe things seemed off for instance an advertisement for a 1930s Ford did not seem to fit in turns out it’s a newspaper created for an Elks

Club event in 1935 is and it’s not real but somehow digitized and shared through a reputable source as a newspaper from 1849 so let’s make one of these Clover clubs and for this one we’re not going to use any fresh raspberries we’re going to use just the raspberry syrup and

Instead of using the typical do B dry vermouth that is called for I’m going to use camo vermouth de chamere this is another bottle I’m going to be using For an upcoming episode and if you know about some of the history from some important tropical drinks from certain

Islands you might be able to figure out which drink I’m talking about for this one now this is different than a lot of other vermouths it’s not as sweet as a sweet red vermouth but not as dry as a dry vermouth we’re also going to need lemon and egg white and

Jin I’m also not going to shake this dry shake this or reverse dry shake this instead I’m going to use the drink mixer and we’ll just see how that turns out using an egg white classic style cocktail in the drink mixer we’re going to start with 3/4 oz of lemon

Juice 3/4 o of raspberry syrup half an ounz of our vermouth 1 and 1/2 o of gin finally add in one egg white and you should really never crack this over your tin you run the risk of ruining everything you’ve already poured into [Applause] It all right so that’s 5 seconds in the drink mixer uh it’s safe to say that you are not going to get that level of foam if you’re shaking dry shaking reverse dry shaking so I’ve used egg whites in the the mixer before but never in a

Drink I think so simple and classic and there’s definitely a mering on top of this thing right now so let’s taste It well that’s fantastic uh it’s mainly the Gin uh you’re getting those sort of pine Juniper notes from the St George sweetness from the raspberry and the raspberry it is subtle acidity from the lemon the vermouth it does get a little bit lost here especially with that extra

Sweetness it brings that’s why I upped the lemon juice but what’s interesting is that vermouth it does uh play pretty nice aromatic role uh kind of competing against a gin but in terms of flavor in the drink it’s a little bit washed out I’ve had a drink mixer now for several

Years I don’t know why I’ve never done a gin fizz in one uh the bird of paradise is is a a take on a gin fizz but even last year I was testing out uh Shake times for The ramish Gin Fizz uh I did 30 seconds in 30 second intervals all

The way up to 6 minutes and uh I never got around to putting that on camera but what I found was there is this area it’s probably around 3 minutes or so of shaking where you’re going to get a result that um is is the best result for

For that drink but I never thought to test it in this um going to have to do that now so that’s it for this one that’s the Clover Club uh in a drink mixer giving you about an inch and a half of a mering on top of your drink

Which some people not like but it’s kind of cool and interesting uh a delicious drink so if you have that raspberry syrup from the tropical standard book here’s another cocktail to use it in as well as that vermouth because that’s coming up in a future episode if you
