Clover Club Cocktail

So, with this cocktail, I've made my foray into the raw egg as an ingredient. It has an enjoyable pink hue (and I do adore pink), but I'm not sure I really taste any "raspberry". It tastes, ah, very gin. Now, I don't normally drink gin, so that could contribute to my perception of overpowering gin flavor.

Perhaps I need to use another gin than Tanqueray. I'm not a gin connoisseur (well, let's face it - I'm not really a connoisseur in general), so I'm not sure if a different gin would imbue a more subtle flavor, or be more appropriate for this cocktail (such as the Aviator gin used on The Spirit World). Nonetheless, it's pretty tasty overall. A nice way for me to enjoy gin aside from the normal gin and tonic or martini.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz gin
• 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 oz raspberry syrup
• 1 egg's white, or 1 tbsp pasteurized egg white

Method

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake hard for about a minute to form a good froth. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Comments

I used Tanqueray, Torani Raspberry Syrup, and fresh egg white.

Possible substitutions include using lime juice instead of lemon juice, and using grenadine in place of raspberry syrup.
