Review

Beneath the white foamy head lies a bittersweet raspberry vodka sour. Looks can be deceiving!

Maybe it's just my wet palate, but wow, I think this is better than the standard Clover Club! Not that the latter isn't good, it's one of the all time greats if anything. But the Campari and the vodka allowing it to shine just results in a magnificent drink replete with fruity citrus and fresh raspberry.

My house raspberry syrup is pressed juice with cane sugar. My 'bianco' is always Cocchi Americano. I'm forever skeptical of drinks with vodka in them. The Cocchi kind of makes up for the absence of gin botanicals. This is actually a tasty and distinct variation of a Clover Club. Great job, Anders.

Thanks for the suggestion, GMG. Just enjoyed a delicious and wonderfully smooth serving with Cocchi Americano. Fresh, clean and just the right amount of bitterness on the after palate. Slipped down very easily indeed.

Didn’t have raspberry syrup so subbed 8-9 fresh raspberries and reduced sugar syrup to 10ml to improve balance for my taste. Very happy! The Campari adds depth but is scarcely discernible, for those who aren’t big Campari fans, try this with confidence!
