The Clover Leaf is a Clover Club-style gin sour made with gin, lemon juice, grenadine, egg white, and mint. It is pink, foamy, botanical, lightly fruity, and aromatic.
Dry shake gin, lemon juice, grenadine, and egg white without ice, then shake again with ice until well chilled. Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass and finish with one mint sprig.
Serve up in a chilled coupe glass with one mint sprig. The drink should show a smooth foam cap from egg white and a pale pink color from grenadine.
Pair it with goat cheese, smoked salmon, chicken salad, berry desserts, lemon tart, or brunch dishes. Gin, lemon juice, grenadine, egg white, and mint make the Clover Leaf bright, soft, and aromatic.
The Clover Leaf sits close to the Clover Club family, using gin, citrus, red-fruit sweetness, and egg white while adding mint aroma for a fresher finish.
Best for brunch, classic sour service, spring menus, and guests who enjoy elegant gin cocktails with foam and light fruit.
Gin gives botanicals, lemon juice adds acidity, grenadine brings red-fruit sweetness, egg white creates foam, and mint adds a fresh aromatic finish.
Foamy, pink, botanical, fresh, and elegant.
Keep the mint as an aromatic accent rather than muddling it heavily. Too much mint can push the drink away from its soft gin sour structure.
