Used confiture instead of jam, so far not all that thrilled

I've made this a few times and decided to try a version. I used bramble jam, Hendricks flora Adora gin and added Rose liqueur....it was lovely 🌹

It's worth making sure the jam is well diluted before shaking. I thought it was easier with a jam taken off the fridge for a while.

Like others, we didn't have raspberry jam. But we do make our own apricot and lavender jam. So we substituted that. Delicious for us but probably not a Clover Club. So at home we call it the 'Titian' (a synonym of apricot).

As long as you’ve got good raspberries with decent flavour, I’d always go with muddled fresh fruit version, such as Simon’s own.

Had a go at the jam version as I do like a berry jam. A favourite black cherry, always need to be cautious with the citrus, otherwise as spec. This is a bit fiddly due to need to check balance throughout, but also and fun and nice when it comes out.

In an effort to find a cocktail that mum (uninitiated cocktail drinker) and Mr H. (picky) Would both like - I settled on this! Used 2/3 of lemon and added a bit of sugar syrup and they were both happy😅

My second egg white cocktail of the evening. I used seedless raspberry jam. Perfect. I’ll use slightly more next time, and slightly less lemon juice. Didn’t have a fresh raspberry so I used a Luxardo cherry. I think I’ll enjoy this one more in the summer. (It’s Xmas eve as I type this)

Needs care with lemon juice depending on how sour yours are. I’ll reduce next time.
I’ve tried with a few different jam/preserve variations, but think I prefer the wonderful redolence of the fresh raspberry version, when they are in season.

Definitely one to channel your Great Gatsby vibe to (where you’re one of the extras partying, with nothing bad happening). Recommended

Also good with 1oz London Dry and 0.5oz raspberry gin. Agree with the comment about fine straining, even with a seedless jam.

Outstanding Used an organic raspberry jam. Was a bit concerned it would be sweet, but it is nicely dry. The gin is prominent. On my favourites. Will definitely have again.

John, you always seem to get there and taste ahead of me, and I always appreciate your notes! This version looks good and easy, and now on the to-be-tried list it goes!
