The Penecillin

Oh it’s a good one!

Well I though it was, Sinead less so…….

The Penicillin, a modern classic, brilliantly complex and perfectly balanced.

2 oz Blended Scotch

¾ oz Lemon Juice

½ oz Honey Syrup

½ oz Ginger Syrup

Shake everything with ice and strain into a rocks glass over a large chunk of ice.

Using a bar spoon float ¼oz of a single malt (something peaty) over the top. Garnish with a chunk of candied ginger.

Some recipes call for a honey-ginger syrup made by muddling a chunk of ginger with a honey syrup, if you go that way use about ¾oz.

Please do give this a go, it is so very easy to make with ingredients you most likely have at home. It’s great!
