Cocktail Recipe: Clover Club

In Cocktails By

Today we bring you the gorgeous Clover Club featuring Gentleman’ Gin. The sweet and tart taste from the raspberry syrup and lemon are perfect with the taste of the gin botanicals. We used Gentleman’s Gin to add a depth of mature, almost pepper, flavour to underpin the more obvious flavours of the cocktail. Gentleman’s Gin has won gold in both the World Gin Awards 2020 and the Frankfurt International Trophy 2020, so it’s really special. The egg white add a velvety smoothness to each sip you take.

The difficulty rating of the Blackberry Bourbon Smash is a 4/10. This is due to the muddling process required to really bring out the juices and oils of the mint leaves, lime wedges and blackberries.
