Clover Club (House-Made)
Made with raspberry jam, this is fruity, well-balanced and easy-drinking

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).

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.

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.

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!

I didn't have raspberry jam so I used Illawarra plum jam, and it was very nice. I might make it again with cognac.
