Pineapple syrup is in Johnson's 1888 edition
Pineapple syrup is in Harry Johnson's 1888 edition...
Following a lead from Wondrich in The Oxford Companion I managed to track down the "Disturbing Sunday Drinks" column in the New Haven Register on July 27th, 1885! "Joe McKone, who invented the Adonis cocktail..." - the head bartender at the Hoffman House at the time!

Excellent, thank you!
The Clover Leaf appears in Jacob Abraham Grohusko's 1908 ‘Jack's Manual’, top left of page 14.
Literally looking there right now and nope - one of us must have a different edition?!?
The first known recipe for Clover Leaf appears in Jacob Abraham Grohusko's 1908 'Jack's Manual', while the first reference to and recipe for a Clover Club (unearthed by David Wondrich) is in a 23 June 1901 piece in the 'New York Press'. Quotes etc above and on our Clover Leaf page.
I just looked through ALL of the 1908 edition of Jack's Manual and there is no "Clover Leaf." I'm trying to clarify exactly where you found your reference.
I scoured the 1908 1st edition of Jack's Manual on the EUVS archive and didn't find any mention of either a Clover Leaf or Clover Club. The first listed 1910 edition on there (must be 2nd edition?) does contain a Clover Leaf, and the 1910 3rd edition does have both Leaf & Club with the recipes you have here. This would put the earliest mention (1901), earliest recipe (1901), and earliest cocktail book publication (1909) of a Clover cocktail as the Club, not the Leaf, right?
I scoured the original 1930 edition of The Savoy Cocktail Book page by page and didn't find one single mention of her name. Where are you seeing that he gave credit to her for anything?
