The Story
The Clover Club predates Prohibition, born in the late 1800s at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, where a gentlemen's literary and social club held their meetings. It was a drink for people who took both their conversation and their cocktails seriously. The egg white foam was not a gimmick. It was a statement. Imagin Red was made for this drink. The strawberry and cranberry in the gin deepen the raspberry, the roselle adds a floral tartness, and the red chili leaves a warmth in the finish that no classic Clover Club has ever had. Old Philadelphia never had it this good.
