Raspberry, lemon and a velvet foam
2 oz / 6 cl Purity Gin 34 Old Tom Organic
1/2 oz / 1.5 cl raspberry syrup
3/4 oz / 2 cl fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz / 1.5 cl egg white
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Prefer no egg? A cocktail foamer or a little aquafaba gives the same velvety texture.
Northern Velvet
The Clover Club was one of the great gin cocktails of the early 1900s: gin, raspberry, lemon and a silky foam, served in the most elegant bars of its day. The Northern Velvet is our Nordic take on it.
Gin 34 Old Tom gives the drink a softer, rounder body that suits the raspberry perfectly, while lemon keeps it bright and the foam gives it its name: smooth as velvet.
Pink, plush and quietly elegant.
Chill a coupe glass.
Add Gin 34 Old Tom, raspberry syrup, lemon juice and egg white to a shaker. Shake hard without ice for about 15 seconds.
Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
Double strain into the chilled coupe and garnish with fresh raspberries.
Dry shake first, without ice, for a full 15 seconds. That is the secret to a dense, velvety foam that holds its shape all the way to the last sip.
