Clover Club

The Clover Club is a cocktail with a rich history that has made a well-deserved comeback in recent years. With gin, raspberries, citrus, and a velvety foam layer of egg white, this is a drink that impresses both visually and in terms of taste. Thanks to Nomuss Sour Mix, you already have the citrus base perfectly balanced.

A cocktail with history

The Clover Club dates back to the early 20th century and is named after a gentlemen's club in Philadelphia where businessmen and politicians gathered. The cocktail was first described in the cocktail book The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book from 1935. After decades of oblivion, the Clover Club was rediscovered by the craft cocktail movement and is now back on the menu of the best cocktail bars worldwide.

How to make the perfect Clover Club?

• Dry shake first — Shake all ingredients first without ice to properly whip the egg white. Then add ice and shake again. This gives the densest, creamiest foam.
• Fresh raspberries are essential — Muddle 4-5 raspberries in the shaker before adding the rest. Frozen raspberries also work, but fresh gives the most beautiful color.
• Choose a London Dry gin — The botanicals of a classic gin like Beefeater or Tanqueray combine perfectly with the fruity and sour profile.
• No egg white? Use Nomuss Foam Drops — A few drops in your shaker will create the same creamy foam layer. Vegan, allergen-free, and without the smell of raw egg.

Variations on the Clover Club

• Clover Club Royale — Top the cocktail with a splash of champagne or prosecco for a festive touch.
• Berry Clover Club — Combine raspberries with blackberries or blueberries for a deeper, richer fruit flavor.
• Mocktail Clover Club — Replace the gin with a non-alcoholic spirit and use Nomuss Foam Drops for the foam. All the flavor, no alcohol.
