Good Friends Club
Enjoyment of the Clover Club cocktail predates the Prohibition era. Here's Head Bartender, Kelvin Wong's rendition, "The GF Club". Its approachable nature featuring vibrant berries alongside ROKU Sakura Bloom's delicate gin presence, makes this an ideal gateway into gin cocktails.
To offer a unique mouthfeel, raspberry is macerated with sugar and vinegar, turning it into a distinct sour shrub a world away from the usual sugary mixers. Inspired by farming practices of planting sunflowers alongside raspberries for improved growth, sunflower seed syrup adds a subtle nutty undertone. Not forgetting the complex steps involved in achieving this drink's signature frothy foam topping - making it well worth the order.
