Clover Club
ClassicIBA OfficialGin, raspberry, and a silk-soft foam.
Fruity, tart, and silky. Gin's botanicals meet bright raspberry and fresh lemon, and the egg white lends a plush, meringue-soft foam that softens every edge. Pink, elegant, and perfectly balanced between sweet and sour — far more serious than its color suggests.

The Story
The Clover Club predates Prohibition, named for a gentlemen's club that met at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia in the late 1800s. It was a genuinely fashionable drink of its day — then Prohibition and a wave of sweeter fashions buried it, and for years it was dismissed as a frivolous "pink" cocktail. The craft revival restored its reputation: made properly, it's a beautifully balanced gin sour with a plush raspberry heart.
