Clover Club

This cocktail, on the menu at hotspot Lani Kai in New York City, is everything a good summer cocktail should be — strong, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Created by Clover Club bartender Brad Farran, this perfectly balanced cocktail features Beefeater 24, a gin crafted with 12 different botanicals.

Cocktail Shopping Tip

Buy your booze in bulk – transfer what you need into smaller bottles to stock your bar – you’ll save money and have enough leftover for your next party.

Cocktail Cooking Tip

Add another layer of flavor to your cocktails by making your own simple syrup – combine equal parts sugar and water with whatever aromatics you like – fresh herbs, whole spices, citrus, or chile peppers – heat to dissolve sugar and strain before using.
