Episode 95 - Club Cocktails - The Stork Club and the Clover Club

This Episode's Cast of Characters

Groucho Marx apparently once said, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”  Well here are two clubs that you can join right away, with no questions asked!  First up is the Stork Club.
​
​The Stork Club

1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
Dash of Angosturra bitters (we used Orange bitters)

​Orange peel garnish

Combine all ingredients in an ice filled cocktail shaker.  Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  Garnish with the orange peel

If that "club" seems to orange for you, maybe we can interest you in membership in the Clover Club.

​The Clover Club
by Julie Reiner, Clover Club, New York City, U.S.A.

1 1/2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce raspberry syrup
1/4 ounce egg white

Combine ingredients in a shaker and shake without ice for 10 seconds.  Add ice and shkae vigorously for at least 10 seconds.  Strain into a cocktail glass.  Garnish with speared raspberries!
