Kramer Falls

The Clover Club is a cocktail that pre-dates Prohibition. In its traditional form, the cocktail calls for gin, lemon juice, raspberry, and egg whites. This PostModern adaptation for the cooler temperatures includes the spicy character of ginger syrup and allspice dram, and forgoes the inclusion of egg whites. The resulting cocktail has more spice character than the traditional Clover Club cocktail and a softer mouthfeel.
