Substitute
Sometimes, not all ingredients are available for the Clover Club Revisited Cocktail. Here are some substitutions to keep in mind.
Ingredients
- Gin: If I don’t have gin, I can use vodka for a smoother taste. It changes the character a bit, but it’s a fun experiment.
- Raspberry Syrup: No raspberries? Try grenadine. It’s sweet and gives a similar color.
- Lemon Juice: Lime juice works too! It gives a different citrus kick but balances the drink.
Equipment
- Shaker: A mason jar can substitute if I don’t have a shaker. Just make sure it seals tightly.
- Strainer: I use a fork or spoon if a cocktail strainer isn’t available. It’s not perfect, but it does the trick.
Instructions
