Clover Club

The Clover Club was an assemblage of bankers, lawyers, and other prominent male professionals who met at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel in Philadelphia beginning in the 1880s and continuing on until the First World War. A veritable boys club, if you will. Like so many organizations of its kind, the Clover Club eventually disbanded, but it's members left behind this little gem for us to remember them by. Many people shy away from egg white these days, but in truth, it lends little to no flavor to drinks. Egg whites are merely used to add body and texture to cocktails. In this one, raspberry remains the dominant flavor but by no means overpowers. Some people like to garnish the Clover Club with a mint leave. Technically that's a Clover Leaf—but we'll let it slide. And gentlemen, this drink may be pink, but remember where it came from.
