Currant Club
Bringing you an alternative take on the classic Clover Club cocktail, using Tanqueray's Blackcurrant Royale Gin.
Whilst a Clover Club cocktail is traditionally a raspberry flavoured cocktail using grenadine, I’ve decided to turn this into a ‘Currant Club’ playing on the flavours of blackcurrant instead. You could use a blackcurrant syrup, however I’ve opted for simple syrup and fresh blackberries muddled as a simpler alternative. Keep reading below for the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 shot (30ml) of @Tanquerayginau Blackcurrant Royale
- 1 shot (30ml) of simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water dissolved)
- 1 shot (30ml) of lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 3 fresh blackberries, 2 finely chopped for the cocktail and 2 for garnish
- 2 cups of ice
Method
- Fill your glass with ice to chill down whilst you make your cocktail.
- Place Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale, lemon juice, finely chopped blackberries muddled,
- sugar syrup and egg white into a cocktail shaker. Close the lid and dry shake for 5 seconds.
- Open the lid, add in your ice, close the lid and shake for another 5 seconds until the cocktail shaker is fully chilled.
- Throw out the ice and strain the cocktail into your glass.
- Garnish with a blackberry using a cocktail pick and place onto the rim of the glass.
