CLOVER LEAF COCKTAIL
The Clover Leaf Cocktail is a distinguished pre-Prohibition classic that captivates with its silky texture and delicate pink hue. By combining the slightly sweet botanical notes of Old Tom Gin with rich grenadine and a fresh egg white, this recipe creates a luxurious, frothy mouthfeel that defines the golden age of cocktails. Perfectly balanced and elegant, it is best served in a chilled glass for a sophisticated drinking experience.
