CLOVER CLUB
2 measures gin
Half a lemon
1 measure grenadine
1 egg white
The CLOVER CLUB cocktail was named for a Chicago club that ruled the 1920s cocktail era, but that’s not why I picked it for one of my 2012 daily cocktails. It was the egg white. I was very intrigued by the use of it in a cocktail. Egg whites are one of my favorite things. I could never eat a yolk again and be a happy woman. But in a drink? Hmm…
I’ m here to tell you, an egg white is a great way to make a drink frothy and delicious. To make the CLOVER CLUB cocktail, start by putting two measures of gin and one measure of grenadine into a shaker. Then separate an egg — not an easy feat for a non-cook such as myself — and add only the egg white to the shaker. Finish by squeezing half a lemon in. Shake it all up with ice, strain it into a rocks glass, and garnish with a lemon if desired.
The result is a foamy fruit punch with a creamy taste, and a kick only gin can provide. The lemon is a nice touch too. I want to try more egg white cocktails, because the CLOVER CLUB was a hit in my book, proving that the cocktail era never really ended.
