Clover Club

from
Schmancy cocktail clubs have a tendency to list esoteric drink ingredients without explaining the concept behind the hooch. The mysterious mule? Secret swizzle? Confounding Collins? Julie Reiner recognizes this knowledge gap and wants to educate (and inebriate) patrons at her new Victorian-style lounge in Cobble Hill with thoughtfully written descriptions for each of the nine cocktail categories on her menu. (We learn that cobblers were the first drinks to feature a straw.) The menu is flush with options for all moods, be it the refreshingly complex French 75 (gin, lemon, sugar and champagne; $11) or the spicy Clover punch ($42 for four to six ladles), which are served in vintage cups and bowls collected by Reiner over the years. A menu of upscale bar snacks leans classic American with caviar shrimp toast, molasses glazed chicken wings and raw oysters rotating daily.
