Non-Alcoholic Refreshing Summer Raspberry Cocktail Inspired by the Classic Clover Club
Raspberry Fizz
2oz pinot noir juice
1oz verjus
.5oz raspberry gum syrup
1 tsp juniper infusion*
cold club soda
Never underestimate the power of verjus in a refreshing beverage.
This zero-proof drink balances cheek-puckering acidity with the lusciousness of gum arabic. Make your own if you’re super ambitious but using a bottle from Small Hands Foods is a smart play. This drink also features two well-made products from the same craft producer in Anderson Valley, Navarro Vineyards. Their verjus, made from Chardonnay grapes, is deliciously tart, fruity and almost floral. The Pinot Noir juice is an amazing item to have in the fridge for upgraded drink options. If you can’t track this down, buy the best, least sweet grape juice you can find at a specialty grocer.
Inspired by the flavor combinations of the classic Clover Club cocktail
“Delicious!”
