Ginologist Strawberry Summer Cup: Strawberry Clover Club

The Strawberry Clover Club adds a fruity twist to a timeless classic. Featuring Ginologist Strawberry Summer Cup, raspberry syrup, and fresh lemon juice, this cocktail delivers a beautifully balanced blend of sweet and tart flavors. The optional egg white creates a smooth, velvety texture, while the garnish of pink sugar, edible glitter, and cotton candy makes it a showstopper.
