➍ Non-Alc Clover Club
Non-Alc Clover Club keeps everything people love about the original, bright citrus, soft berry sweetness, and a silky texture, all without the gin. The Raspberry Gum Syrup brings a richer berry profile than a simple syrup would, giving the drink a smooth, rounded fruit note that works beautifully with lemon. The egg white adds that classic creamy foam, and topping with club soda or tonic water gives it a light lift. Tonic adds a subtle, gin-like edge if you want a bit more complexity.
Building it is straightforward, start with a dry shake to get the foam going, add ice for a quick chill, then double strain into a coupe. A few raspberries or an orange wheel on top finishes it cleanly. It is a simple way to serve a non-alcoholic classic that still feels elegant and balanced.
