PENICILLIN
The Penicillin, created by Sam Ross, is a modern Scotch cocktail combining bright lemon, honey, ginger and a smoky peated Islay whisky float. Unlike the related Gold Rush, the Penicillin uses Scotch whisky and ginger.
Ingredients
- 2 Oz. (60 ml) Blended Scotch whisky
- 3/4 Oz. (22.5 ml) Fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 Oz. (22.5 ml) Honey-ginger syrup
- 1/4 Oz. (7.5 ml) Peated Islay Scotch whisky (float)
Method
- Shake the blended Scotch, lemon juice and honey-ginger syrup with ice. Strain into a lowball glass over fresh ice, then gently float the peated Islay whisky over the top. Garnish with candied ginger. Prepare honey-ginger syrup by combining honey syrup with fresh ginger juice or infusing syrup with fresh ginger.
