1 T fresh lemon juice
1 pasteurized egg white
2.0 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
1 tsp Jack Rudy Grenadine
Fill mixing-glass with broken ice. Shake well (20 second), omitting egg white. Strain out ice, add egg white, and shake 10 seconds, garnish with mint sprig. — A nice classic sour, this is closer to the Clover Club in the Savoy Cocktail Book than Jack’s version of that cocktail which was added to the JM 1916. Jack’s Clover Leaf was picked up earlier, before Straub, probably from personal experience at the Astoria or other New York bars. To increase the distinctness of the two cocktails, Jack uses Grenadine here, having used Raspberry syrup and three citrus juices in the Clover Club. Both are great versions of these classics, but this one was the staple Clover- cocktail from earlier editions of JM.
