Clover Club

A pre-Prohibition gin sour given a rosy blush of raspberry and the silken, foam-capped body of egg white. Named for the Clover Club, a Philadelphia gentlemen's club that gathered at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel from the 1880s, it balances juniper, tart lemon, and berried sweetness beneath a pale-pink crown. A two-stage shake — dry first to whip the egg, then over ice to chill — builds that signature plush texture.
