The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle
I found this glass at a thrift store. It’s got a fun glitter texture around the bottom and I just loved its showiness. It felt like an old dance costume or jazz hands in glass form. Just a little more attention grabbing than it needed to be but also in a fun familiar way. So I wanted to make a bit of a showy drink that gave this glass its moment to shine. Of course I came up with the name immediately and my brain went from razzle dazzle to raspberries. So I went with a take on The Clover Club, a Philadelphia original cocktail with gin, raspberry, egg and lemon. I switched out the gin for bourbon and the lemon for orange. I also added some chocolate bitters to make the whole thing feel like a little treat. It’s a delightful little number that’s fancier than a drink needs to be but exactly what you deserve when you need a lil pizzazz in your life. So shake one of these up next time you have guests and give 'em the ol’ razzle dazzle!
