@@auto_math Applejack is mixed with vodka as mentioned in the video. Lairds apple brandy is made from eating apples these days, mostly red delicious or whatever is cheapest, because cider apples are vanishingly rare in the US and command a high price. A lot of French apple brandy is still made from cider apples so it’s honestly higher quality imho. I’m from NJ and love Lairds but it’s on the rough side compared to better French apple brandy. This cocktail tames it nicely though.
one of the first cocktails i "invented" when i first started bartending is very similar to these two. essentially a gin sour with lemon, egg white, and simple syrup, but i used chambord (black raspberry liqueur) instead of raspberry syrup, grenadine, or apple brandy. i called it a gin royal haha
The production value of all of these videos is trough the roof! (great lighting, perfect colors, awesome depth of field, super nice slow-mo b-roll, cool subtle text animations) let alone the great recipies and the easy and fun presentation. That lazy ass youtube algorithm gotta do a better job and recommend these vids to way more people. Gonna mix me a pink lady rigtht now . Much love from Munich. Cheers.
It is pretty known that the Clover Club originally contained an amount of dry vermouth as well (those 15 ml missing from the Pink Lady, to re-balance ingredients). So, making the Clover Club this way, the two cocktails wouldn't be slightly different anymore, but they would be well distinguished :-)
@Anders I know some other version of Clover Club(that I make at the bar) and i found yours missing 1 important ingredient, which makes the whole different cocktail imo. Missing star of the show is Dry Vermouth. So we make it: - 30ml London Dry Gin - 20ml Dry Vermouth - 20ml raspberry cordial - 20ml lemon juice - egg white Try it that way if You haven't yet!
Raspberries are in season so.. Just made the Clover Club today after making raspberry syrup yesterday. That’s a pretty tasty cocktail. Nicely balanced. Thanks!
I made these but I didn't have all the right ingredients. In fact, all I had was some Malort and Strawberry Quik. After the third one, the taste wasn't so bad. Pretty color too! Let me know if you need any more tips.
Thank you for this recipes! When making Pink Lady, I used St. George Spiced Pair liquor as a substitute for Applejack, and I loved it! I found it richer and more complex than Applejack.
Another great video Anders! I personally love to add just a touch of peach liqueur to my clover clubs! I love the subtle peach flavor underneath the fluffy raspberry flavor profile of the clover club, and may add just enough complexity to let it stand up to your Pink Lady!
I just recently found this channel and I love your videos! You make everything feel so accessible. I went out a got a cocktail shaker because you really removed the intimidation factor for me. Thank you! I just made the clover club with Bombay Bramble (skipped the raspberry syrup) with some muddled blackberries and it’s uhhhhhh real good. Just a hot tip for anyone else who loves a lazy cocktail. Plus I don’t have raspberry syrup or grenadine yet lol (Also highly recommend a bees knees with Glendalough Rose. I might have a thing for pink gin….)
My favorite drink is a whiskey(or gin) sour so when you mentioned the pink lady may be something I'd like I hopped on it. I just happen to have the apple jack and gin here at home! Its a delicious drink! So glad I found this channel and I look forward to trying your other drinks.
Just an armchair mixologist here, but I saw recipes asking for vermouth in the Clover Club and once I added that, it really elevated my drink. Try it. You may like it better!
I love watching all of your videos. I want to make my own home bar and I'm getting so much inspiration here. Please keep it up. Your videos are super informative and entertaining!
One of my favorite cocktails is the clover club made with a raspberry cordial. I find the drink too effervescent and light with og specs. I think the balance shines best when it's sweet. I've had good results though from 2 oz strong gin, 1 oz rasp syrup, .75 oz lemon juice, 1/2 egg white.
Would have been interesting to see you use Julie Reiner's version of the Clover Club. It's a more complex (and possibly more authentic-if you believe Dave Wondrich) version of the drink.
Just add a few drops of red food colorant in your home grenadine. It won't change a lot the concentrate BUT will do a major difference in the cocktail. Don't add too much or the cocktail will be candy red.
Brilliant video Anders as always. I must say I used to make Pink Ladies with equal gin and Allejack, but your version might be more balanced. I would love to see more comparisons of similar style of drinks in the future. Perhaps El Presidente vs Corn ‘n’ Oil. Or Manhattan vs Brooklyn, etc.
Great idea, David! I actually have the Brooklyn coming up. But you're right, a lot of cocktails are pretty close to each other and would be good for comparing. As for your pink lady rendition, I bet it's still pretty tasty with a bit more applejack!
Yaaaas! I choose to believe this is because I requested the Clover Club at some point, somewhere on here. Please never relieve me of my delusion. In the Okanagan (Canada) we have a company that makes a damn fine raspberry liqueur, which is what I use. Gives you a full raspberry hit - credit for this tip goes to the folks at Krafty Kitchen in Kelowna. Thank you for this. I'm off to get some apple jack and try that Pink Lady. Well done as always. I'm waiting for the world to discover you.
Thanks, Laura! And yes, you helped inspire this video! Your comment was very much appreciated. Now I'll have to see if I can get my hands on some of that raspberry liqueur. That could be just what my cocktail needs. Cheers!
It's interesting that you mention they felt the need at one point to add grain liquor to Applejack because the Pink Lady can also be thought of as a Jack Rose with gin and egg white added to it.
I've recently made both of these cocktails (for personal recreational use), and I, too, prefer the Pink Lady to the Clover Club. My recipes were different, but the ingredients were similar except that I used Boodles for the Pink Lady (Brokers for the Clover Club, though). To me, the Pink Lady would be a terrific Fall cocktail. I suspect that the Pink Lady is sensitive to the quality of the grenadine. I used a really terrific craft grenadine, and I suspect a mediocre grenadine wouldn't be as good. (I used homemade raspberry syrup in the Clover Club, but I know that my homemade grenadine isn't as good as this craft grenadine, so a better raspberry syrup than my homemade stuff could have led to a different opinion.)
Can you do an episode on whiskey sours with different types of whiskey? I see a lot of recipes that are with bourbon but my personal preference is Irish whiskey for my whiskey sours. Bourbon is my favorite type of whiskey but for me it just doesn’t go into a whiskey sour
I'll have to try the Pink Lady! For the Clover Club, I usually add 1/2oz of Noilly Prat, I think it gives it the complexity that is missing in the original recipe.
That IS the original recipe. According to Dave Wondrich The oldest printed version of the Clover Club calls for 1/2 oz dry vermouth. Julie Reiner has re-popularized this drink and her version is definitely on par with the best of any version of the Pink Lady.
Just tried the Pink Lady. Had to use higher quality purchased grenadine as I haven’t gotten around to making my own grenadine (will do that next weekend along with raspberry syrup for Clover Club). Used Laird’s Applejack that I already had on hand after pricing Laird’s Apple Brandy - $70 a bottle, ouch! Delicious cocktail, though more brownish tan than pinkish (I’m sure due to the purchased grenadine, which was dark brownish rather than red). Looking forward to trying it again with homemade grenadine.
I just made these back to back after a rough week at work - I bought the diluted Laird’s at my last liquor store trip :( so I played with the ratios - added 1/2 oz dry vermouth to the clover club - Winner is... Pink Lady!
I’m so glad you tried them back to back! Great call adding the dry vermouth - interesting to hear you still went with the pink lady. Such a good cocktail!
We were doing research on the Pink Lady when COVID struck. Hopefully soon we can resume and we can get into the story there. Also looking forward to drinking it.
I think it is time for me to finally make these two drinks. In the past my hold up has been working with egg whites, was afraid of failing to get a good a foam. After a week of making whiskey sours for a family get away I am finally ready to do this!! Now to get some eggs for my bar fridge. LOL
A Pink Lady, in my experience, is made with Créme du Noyaux…not grenadine. That could be why your Pink Lady isn’t pink. Plus the addition of almond and peach flavor make the PL an under-appreciated cocktail
Great video! I did a Hawaiian sunset with a new grenadine I got the other day. Very good quality but the color is just off. Looks like all the good stuff isn’t turning a drink into a pink pebto bismol. What about a Singapore sling? Id love to see your creation on this amazing drink because it’s so different in every single bar you go. Or... went... back in the old days :D As always, great video! You’re my favorite cocktail channel on UA-cam. Thanks man!
Thank you so much! I do tend to think the better the grenadine, the less bright of a color it is. As for the Singapore Sling, I'll be sure to do that one in the future. It really is amazing how recipes vary. Great call. Cheers!
So I thought I made a pink lady, according to an app that has recipes. After watching this I am thinking that I made a clover club. I had no apple brandy.
Real cloverclub needs dry vermouth, at leat 1/2 once with 1 1/2 oz of gin. So yeah, please retry this because cloverclubs without vermouth dont taste the same, so please try again to see if Pink lady still beats cloverclub. I havent tried a Pink lady yet so I count on your opinion. Thanks for your videos
Anders, thanks for your videos. Love learning. Wondering if you have any suggestions on why my my clover club isn’t really pink at all? I get a tan color?
I know you probably don't check the comments on this bad boy anymore, but what say you to Julie Reiner's Clover Club, which substitutes raspberry jam for the syrup, and includes dry vermouth?
Those look so good. I am thirsty now. Great video again. :@) The Broker's Gin says 94° on the bottle - I hope that reflects the proof, otherwise is almost like poison. 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers!
When you say that apple jack used to be straight apple brandy (before it started being cut with neutral grain spirits), was it also 100 proof? In other words, would an apple brandy like calvados work (or be closer to the original recipe)? Thanks!!
Can you do the raspberry syrup without water? The same way you would with strawberry? Just equal parts sliced fruit and sugar? Or will it not pull from raspberries the way it does strawberries
I found a couple of small glass carafes online. They come in different sizes, but I like the small size. I’m glad you noticed! The little things really help.
@@AndersErickson much appreciated for the reply! I'll scour around & see what I can find Edit: that took one whole minute. It's made by Libbey 6 oz wine decanter (I just google searches small glass carafe)
Clover Club is one of the prettier cocktails in cocktail-dom. Lol. However I’m not surprised the Pink Lady is better tasting. Applejack is a gamer changer and really shouldn’t be reserve for the Fall. It’s too good.
Damnit, I saw that Laird's at my last trip to the liquor store but passed it up. I think it'll be on the list for the next run. Thanks, Anders. This was another great video all the way thru.
Yes!! Love these drinks! I make my Pink Lady exactly the same way. Well almost, I do 3/4 - 3/4 but your syrup is the 1.5:1, right? So same same. For Clover Club, I do think that the recipe with dry vermouth is better. At least for me. Can't seem to find the history behind that though...calling David Wondrich tomorrow 😄
Haha. Let me know what he says! I do use my semi-rich syrup in the pink lady, so I’m guessing ours taste similar. As for the clover club, I want to try it again with the vermouth. It was good, but I thought the pink lady had an unfair advantage with the applejack. I might come back to this one in the future.
@@AndersErickson He said that I'm right (about everything) and that I should stop listening to your nonsense. He was very adamant about the last part 🤷♂️ 😁
I make what I like to call the "pink clover" which is a pink lady with 15ml of raspberry puree too, which might be blasphemy? But I think it is delicious 😂
No lies: I needed this respite today and no White Lady jokes 🤬 Thank you both for this continual calm in the storm. ❤️❤️❤️ (Can I commission some meditation videos from y'all?)
Since in the original Clover Club they used grenadine, why are you using raspberry syrup? Is there any specific reason? I will try to make it with grenadine (your recipe of course). Both cocktails look very nice.
I do not have the apple jack, so pink lady it is... also wouldnt use such a volume of raspberry syrup to make one, unless I want to drink the clover club everynight. Nah Im just gonna muddle a few fresh pieces
I get the thought with the Pink Lady having Applejack, but it turns out the cocktail predates the apple by a long shot. The apple wasn't created until the 70s. I didn't know this, btw - had to look it up, but thought it was interesting. It was a great question! Cheers!

Both cocktails are wonderful. I won't be able to choose a favourite to be honest. Maybe Clover Club for warm months and Pink Lady for colder months 😉
@@JSOS That makes perfect sense! I like the way you think 👍
Is apple jack the same as calvados.

I tried your version of Pink Lady vs the version in our Spirited cocktail book, and yours won by far!
I made these but I didn't have all the right ingredients. In fact, all I had was some Malort and Strawberry Quik. After the third one, the taste wasn't so bad. Pretty color too!
Let me know if you need any more tips.
You just won some serious points for creativity! 😂
That’s hilarious!
Bro, that was a banger of a comment, thank you for that, and cheers
I’ve done a clover club with Chambord instead of raspberry syrup (I had one, not the other on hand) and it was delish!
Thank you for this recipes! When making Pink Lady, I used St. George Spiced Pair liquor as a substitute for Applejack, and I loved it!
I found it richer and more complex than Applejack.
Was worried thinking Az wasn’t gonna get t try. Whew, that was suspenseful. Thank you, and now for some Apple Jack!
Haha! You won’t be disappointed, Steve!
They looked yummy.
Will you do any savory drinks, like a Bloody Mary?
I actually lost track half way through which was which, mad how similar these drinks are
🎶 Let it "Clover Club" the beautiful love. 🎵

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
Dude, super solid videos! Great quality on all fronts 🤘🏼
I feel like the clover club was fighting with one hand behind its back there. Again with dry vermouth please!
Tried this with Luxardo cherry syrup instead of grenadine (I was out), and it was delicious
Just an armchair mixologist here, but I saw recipes asking for vermouth in the Clover Club and once I added that, it really elevated my drink. Try it. You may like it better!
Oh! And I use Liber raspberry syrup -- in my mind, the preeminent raspberry syrup available!

That makes me so happy! Cheers to you, and enjoy the weekend!
The pink lady was my dad’s favorite cocktail up until his death at 91. Great vlog!
Made this and it blew my mind. Being from Jersey this is going to replace a whiskey sour as my go to drink for visitors.
Literally I never see how similar there two are!
Now I want just do a new clobber club in my personal changes
These are excellently made videos. Interesting, easily understandable, and very well produced. Thank you
Thanks, Jonathan! Happy to hear you're enjoying the videos - cheers!

Love the Clover Club (raspberry > than grenadine). Never tried a Pink Lady. Will have to change that!
Clover club with 4 muddled raspberries and simple syrup, is just amazing
Classic. I don't love gin sours generally but these are the two I go for. Especially when the raspberries are producing in my yard.
Oh man - I wish I had raspberries growing in my yard! I also wish I had a yard. lol

I hope you enjoy it! It's a drink with quite the following.
Try it. Can't go wrong with it! 👍👍
Awesome cocktails brother 🥂
Just tried the Pink Lady. Had to use higher quality purchased grenadine as I haven’t gotten around to making my own grenadine (will do that next weekend along with raspberry syrup for Clover Club). Used Laird’s Applejack that I already had on hand after pricing Laird’s Apple Brandy - $70 a bottle, ouch!
Delicious cocktail, though more brownish tan than pinkish (I’m sure due to the purchased grenadine, which was dark brownish rather than red). Looking forward to trying it again with homemade grenadine.
These are booth great. and they look good too. That makes for a good time
Thanks, David! Sometimes two drinks are just better than one!
These both look amazing and I love using my Applejack so I will be making the Pink Lady
I love that you have applejack on hand. You won't be disappointed with the pink lady! Cheers!
I just made these back to back after a rough week at work - I bought the diluted Laird’s at my last liquor store trip :( so I played with the ratios - added 1/2 oz dry vermouth to the clover club - Winner is... Pink Lady!

You can leave the egg out, but you'll be sorry!

I prefer the original grenadine recipe over the raspberry recipe for the Clover Club (thus, making it a Pink Lady minus the apple).
Pink Lady is my favourite drink!
Just made a pink lady. SO good. I emulsified it for a few seconds but it started leaking on me. Does the shaker have to be very locked?
woulda been interesting to see the clover club with apple jack too lol. raspberry syrup sounds better to me
I know the Clover Club. My Mother in Law likes the Pink Lady…teach me Anders…teach me 🙏 🙌
A Pink Lady, in my experience, is made with Créme du Noyaux…not grenadine. That could be why your Pink Lady isn’t pink. Plus the addition of almond and peach flavor make the PL an under-appreciated cocktail
It’s always 5 pm at the bar!
Where can i find this reference about grenadine as the original ingredient?
Would you please recommend a Calvados? The one I have is very rustic and scrumpy. I tried using it, and it was awful. Please help.
Great video!
I did a Hawaiian sunset with a new grenadine I got the other day. Very good quality but the color is just off. Looks like all the good stuff isn’t turning a drink into a pink pebto bismol.

Loved the intro for this one. Where did you get the glass you used to pour your Grenadine & Raspberry syrup? It really amps up the presentation

Yes... the Apple-stuff will do it. Thumbs up!
What do you think about clover club recipes that include a small amount of vermouth?
Do you find a difference in the separation if you do a reverse dry shake?
Love your videos Anders. I always learn something. Thanks!
One of the reasons I keep coming back myself! 👍
Can I also use Calvados instead of Applejack, Applejack is hard to get in Austria???
Next time try to Muddle few Raspberries with 0.5 ounce Simple Syrup instead of raspberry syrup. Game changing technique 😎
The fresher the berry the better the drink. I like it. I appreciate the comment, Pawel! Cheers!
Agreed. I always make mine with fresh raspberries. and 0.75-1 part simple depending on the guest's palate!
It ain’t over til it’s clover!
😂
LOL
7:42 anders i hope i meet you one day 🤣 keep on being you
And can I use Aquafaba instead egg white?
No dry vermouth in the clover club?

I agree completely, Vino! I wanted it to be a fair fight, but that applejack was a secret weapon. lol
Actually for the fair comp, clover club needs vermouth. It comes from the original recipe btw
Damnit, I saw that Laird's at my last trip to the liquor store but passed it up. I think it'll be on the list for the next run. Thanks, Anders.
This was another great video all the way thru.
Thanks, Ray! Pick up that bottle and see what you think. Cheers!
Yes!! Love these drinks! I make my Pink Lady exactly the same way. Well almost, I do 3/4 - 3/4 but your syrup is the 1.5:1, right? So same same.
For Clover Club, I do think that the recipe with dry vermouth is better. At least for me. Can't seem to find the history behind that though...calling David Wondrich tomorrow 😄
Haha. Let me know what he says! I do use my semi-rich syrup in the pink lady, so I’m guessing ours taste similar. As for the clover club, I want to try it again with the vermouth. It was good, but I thought the pink lady had an unfair advantage with the applejack. I might come back to this one in the future.
@@AndersErickson He said that I'm right (about everything) and that I should stop listening to your nonsense. He was very adamant about the last part 🤷♂️ 😁
@@AndersErickson Try Dolin and a couple of muddled raspberries instead. Chame ganger.
Alright! So then he does know me! 🍾 😂
@@AndersErickson 😁
for clover club try 5 rasberries 1 egg white .25 gren .25 simp .5 lem .5 dolin dry 1.5 gin fucking solid af.
I make what I like to call the "pink clover" which is a pink lady with 15ml of raspberry puree too, which might be blasphemy? But I think it is delicious 😂
No lies: I needed this respite today and no White Lady jokes 🤬 Thank you both for this continual calm in the storm. ❤️❤️❤️ (Can I commission some meditation videos from y'all?)
Haha. I'm glad we could offer you some calm to end the week. Meditation videos would be a new direction 😂
Since in the original Clover Club they used grenadine, why are you using raspberry syrup? Is there any specific reason? I will try to make it with grenadine (your recipe of course). Both cocktails look very nice.
In recent times, most people know the Clover Club as a raspberry cocktail. That's where it's current popularity resides👍
I do not have the apple jack, so pink lady it is... also wouldnt use such a volume of raspberry syrup to make one, unless I want to drink the clover club everynight. Nah Im just gonna muddle a few fresh pieces
Sounds good to me! Nothing wrong with fresh raspberries. Cheers to you!
Could it be called pink lady like the apples that are called pink lady?
I get the thought with the Pink Lady having Applejack, but it turns out the cocktail predates the apple by a long shot. The apple wasn't created until the 70s. I didn't know this, btw - had to look it up, but thought it was interesting. It was a great question! Cheers!
Myhomade grenadine is also more brown than red. Feelsbadman.
Is there a substitute of applejack. Availability in India is a bit of an issue..
A nice brandy will work to the applejack - I've made it a number of times with cognac and it worked really well 😊 Cheers!
@@AndersErickson thank for the reply.. loving your channel.. all the best!! Cheers
@@progang1 You can also try it with Calvados instead of Applejack!
To the bar?
