1938 Famous New Orleans Drinks and how to mix'em (3rd printing) by Stanley Clisby Arthur

Clover Club

1 jigger diy gin VI lime—^juice only 1 pony raspberry sirup 1 white of egg 1 dash Peychaud bitters.

Pour the ingredients into the shaker in order given. Drop in the lumps of ice. Set yourself for a good shaking, for this is a cock tail that must be well frapped To give chic to the final result, decorate your cocktail glasses with sprigs of mint after straining into them the delightful liquid from your shaker. Some of the how-to-mix'em-experts use grenadine sirup instead of the raspberry. Upon experiment it will be found that red raspberry not only gives a prettier pink color but imparts a flavor grenadine cannot match. As it has the white of an egg in it, this cocktail must be well shaken. Why was it named a c/oyer cocktail? Well, you have us there. Possibly it's because the lucky recipient, after tossing it off (or should this drink be tossed?) will con cede that the finding of a four-leaf clover is not so lucky as finding this cocktail. We have always admired the added ummph the dash of Peychaud bitters gives this deservedly popular concoc tion.
