The Clover Club, named after a men's group that regularly met in a Philadelphia hotel was a popular turn of the century cocktail, and people went crazy for it, including well-to-do gentlemen and "captains of industry."

A Clover Club Cocktail
Sadly, this drink quickly went out of style. Not because it was bad, this is a fantastic cocktail. I think more so because of the extra work needed to make it, and because it was not seen as a manly looking drink!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
