neonvincentToday I'm making the Penicillin, a modern classic cocktail invented by Sam Ross while he was at Milk & Honey. It's a fantastic cocktail and frequently requested by the audience here, and it's also a rare opportunity to mix with some Scotch. A few things you might want to know if you don't already- Milk & Honey was maybe the epicenter of the cocktail revival of the early 2000's, really kicked off the "speakeasy" thing, and Sam Ross is a legend, so this drink has some serious pedigree.
Penicillin
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. honey syrup
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. ginger syrup
.75 oz. -or- 22 ml. lemon juice
2 oz. -or- 60 ml. blended Scotch
Shake & Strain
Float a peaty Islay Scotch over the top
Garnish with Candy Ginger
