ABOUT
I’ve had this idea in my head for a while to combine a Clover Club and Ramos Gin Fizz (named after the song by Zach Bryan). It’s creamy, tart, and has a soft fizz. The absinthe isn’t traditional in either, but it steps in where orange flower water usually goes to keep it interesting. Cheers y’all!
