The Clover Club cocktail features a soft berry-citrus aroma with pronounced notes of raspberry, refreshing lemon tartness, and subtle herbal hints of gin. Its flavor profile combines gentle berry sweetness with fresh citrus tartness, while the addition of egg white gives the drink a velvety texture and a smooth creamy foam.
The history of the Clover Club cocktail dates back to the late 19th century in Philadelphia, USA. It was named after the eponymous men’s club, the Clover Club, whose members gathered at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. The cocktail quickly became a symbol of the elegant bar traditions of the era and is now considered one of the classic recipes from the “Golden Age” of cocktails.
