Saw the discussion on this start up again yesterday, I'd forgotten just how lovely these are. Lots of versions with slight differences, I just added a couple of touches to increase the raspberry flavour and the pink colour. https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/35938/pink-pony-club
A truly wonderful, luxurious drink. Should be a cocktail everyone tries. It epitomises the luxurious nature of a cocktail. Also fantastic for people who may be afraid of gin. Please don't skip the dry vermouth, it adds so much to the drink.
A very nice, dry, citrus sour drink with a strong raspberry finish.
Question, Do you prefer "reverse" dry shake when using egg whites? Or just in certain cocktails?
Personally, I prefer a reverse dry shake but it is essential to finish with a fine strainer. Also, I have seen folk changing tins and washing tins between both shakes. It is essential to use the same cold tins, hence not possible with a 3-piece cobbler shaker.
A beautiful cocktail. I’m a bit confused by your history. Though I’ve seen versions with and without vermouth, and I’m not sure that anyone really knows which one is “original”, I’ve never heard anyone dispute that the cocktail was created for/by the Clover Club in Philadelphia. Are you saying that Paul Lowe created this cocktail?
Thanks for pointing out - the history was a little confused so I've added to this and hopefully made clearer. I'm not sure that anyone knows who created it!
