Clover Club

The Clover Club is a pre-prohibition cocktail named after the Philadelphia men’s club of the same name which met in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel from the 1880’s to the 1920’s. The cocktail made its way to New York when George Boldt of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia was recruited to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. The Clover Club is a delicious cocktail and has a special place at Mackintosh HQ due to raspberries being a garnish. The region of Angus is home to some of the best raspberries in Scotland!
