Cocktail Club: A berry-flavoured sour that feels modern and classic
Sponsored By
With the flavour of fresh raspberries and the timeless combination of gin and vermouth, this is an elegant cocktail sure to impress guests.
A mark of a good host is someone who goes the extra mile, or at least looks like they have. That’s why we asked world-class Irish mixologist and Diageo Head of Advocacy, Cal Byrne, for his expert recommendation on delicious but easy-to-make cocktails that will impress at your next get-together.
Next up in the series is the Tanqueray Clover Club, a fruity take on a gin martini that feels modern and classic in equal measure.
“The Clover Club is a timeless collaboration between berries and gin in the form of a sour-style cocktail,” Cal explains. “The drink is further elevated through the addition of a splash of dry vermouth, another one of gin’s great dance partners. This gives a suggestion of the classic gin martini, refining the drink and giving an overall elegant finish.”
To reflect this drink’s balance of tradition and innovation, Cal has put together an outfit that similarly blends the two. A soft suit blazer and pants with an interesting tie-front detail is a contemporary take on classic tailoring. Paired with a t-shirt and trainers, it encapsulates a modern sensibility with a nod to classic style that perfectly reflects this cocktail.
