The Clover Club: Philadelphia’s Power Cocktail

In the late 1800s, the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia was more than a place to sleep. It was a marble-and-mahogany headquarters for lawyers, journalists, and politicians who gathered to trade gossip, plot campaigns, and shape headlines.

At the center of this world was the Clover Club, an invitation-only group of sharp-tongued newspapermen and business leaders. They met over multi-course lunches and flowing cocktails, one of which became their signature: a bright pink gin drink with raspberry syrup, dry vermouth, and egg white.

First documented in 1909, the Clover Club cocktail defied the era’s masculine image of drinking. It was unapologetically pretty and unapologetically strong. The egg white gave it a soft, foamy top, the raspberry syrup a jewel-like hue, and the gin the backbone needed to hold its own in a room full of power players.

By the mid-20th century, the drink’s reputation suffered. Cheap grenadine replaced fresh raspberry syrup, and it vanished from respectable menus. But in 2008, bartender Julie Reiner resurrected the Clover Club in Brooklyn, returning it to its original form and proving that history, like cocktails, is worth reviving.

Today, it’s recognized as a pre-Prohibition classic — a drink with elegance, wit, and more bite than its color suggests.

It’s pink. It’s pretty.

And it was the drink of choice for Philadelphia’s most powerful and sharp-tongued men.

From the marble halls of the Bellevue-Stratford to decades of bad grenadine knockoffs, this is the real story of the Clover Club.

Hemingway didn’t just write novels; he left a liquid legacy. Philip Greene’s *To Have and Have Another* catalogs cocktails tied to “Papa,” but one stands out: the Papa Doble, aka the Hemingway Daiquiri.

In the late 1930s, Hemingway frequented Havana’s El Floridita, where Constantino Ribalaigua Vert crafted perfect Cuban daiquiris. Hemingway preferred them stronger: no sugar, double rum, grapefruit juice, a touch of maraschino, blended icy smooth.

Strong enough to floor most, balanced enough for seconds—or thirds. Hemingway’s books gave us heroes who fought bulls, braved seas, and drank like the world was ending. This drink is a chapter you taste.

@YouTubeCreators Jump onto a tier list trend, or stay true to my vision.... hmm. I'll probably jump on this trend after its long gone haha. 🙃

[History In a Glass @HistoryinaGlass]

@SpfldHistorian This is awesome. It's very cool to see some of this history out our way, especially since it all seems to be forgotten about or just completely ignored. Thanks for sharing!

Hemingway didn’t do light drinking. But this is as close as it gets.
The Hemingway Daiquiri aka Papa Doble was created at El Floridita in Havana during the 1930s.

It removed the sugar from the classic daiquiri and doubled the rum, replacing the sweetness with grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur. The drink was blended with crushed ice and served frappé-style.

The earliest known version appears in Floridita Cocktails (1939), with later adaptations published as the “Hemingway Special.”

Blended. Cold. No garnish. If Hemingway had a Friday drink, this was it.
