Mackenzie's second drink was the Clover Club, introduced to us by Kirk Estopinal at Cure. It's a classic and basically a gin daisy with egg white.
2 oz London dry gin (Plymouth)
1 oz fresh lemon juice
~3/4 oz house grenadine or raspberry syrup
1 egg white
Combine all but gin and 1/4 oz syrup and shake. Then add gin and shake with ice. Place remaining 1/4 oz of syrup in the very bottom of a cocktail glass, then strain mixture into the glass, layering it over the syrup which sits prettily at the bottom.
This is a very nice drink, indeed. Its acidity is softened by the egg white, and the texture is beautiful. I screwed it up the first go-round and then winged the correction, so the volume of grenadine is an estimate, but it's close enough. Try it yourself and see what you think!
