# Summery Beer Cocktails The Slow Clap Cocktail Was Invented by Bartender Ivy Mix By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-clap-cocktail References: [nytimes](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/21/dining/keep-your-head-on-lazy-hazy-days.html?ref=dining&_r=2) & [cloverclubny](http://www.cloverclubny.com/) The Slow Clap is a unique beer cocktail good enough to convert the most ardent beer cocktail naysayers into avid beer cocktail lovers. It is the brainchild of celebrated bartender Ivy Mix, who plies her trade at Brooklyn's [Clover Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitebox-cocktails-canned). The Slow Clap brings together Green Flash West Coast I.P.A. with sweet Old Tom Gin, camomile syrup, lemon juice and Italian digestive Cardamaro. The beer is very hoppy even by I.P.A. standards, but is calmed down a notch by the camomile and Cardamaro, taking on a surprisingly floral and fruity form. This cocktail is but one example of Ivy Mix's innovative approach to putting together drinks, something that has won her acclaim far and wide. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Beer Cocktails:** Creating unique beer cocktails by combining different flavors and ingredients. - **Mixology Innovation:** Developing innovative approaches to crafting new and exciting cocktails. - **Bartending Creativity:** Exploring inventive techniques and ingredients in the world of bartending. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft Beer:** Exploring opportunities to create new beer flavors and experiment with beer as a cocktail ingredient. - **Mixology:** Developing new techniques and ideas for creating innovative cocktails using different spirits and flavors. - **Hospitality:** Introducing unique and creative drinks to enhance the customer experience in bars and restaurants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cosmo-Inspired Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmoale.md) - [Summer Beer Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-beer-cocktail.md) - [Artisanal Brewing-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindred-spirits-series.md) - [Sippable Summer Pale Lagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-tricks-ipl.md) - [Baseball-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baseball-inspired-cocktails.md) - [Cold War Martini Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-war-martini.md) - [Summer-Centric Hoppy Pilsners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoppy-pilsner.md) - [Savory Culinary Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-schmucks.md) - [Clarified Mayo Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-victory-cocktail.md)
