About
This cocktail appears in Albert Stevens Crockett’s Old Waldorf Bar Days from 1931. Crockett describes it as a Clover Club made with Jamaican rum, although the book curiously says “instead of Bacardi” even though its Clover Club recipe uses gin. The connection is clear either way: citrus, fruit syrup, and egg white, with Jamaican rum adding more weight and funk. This version uses grenadine in place of the Clover Club’s raspberry syrup, bringing a tart pomegranate note to the familiar sour structure.Cheers y’all!
