Created by New York bartender Sam Ross in 2005. Penicillin cocktail is a smoky, spicy mix of Scotch, honey and Ginger. Many consider the drink a modern classic. I love a spicy ginger cocktail, and so the Penicillin is one of my favourites.

INGREDIENTS:

• 45 ml Johnnie Walker Black Label
• 15 ml ginger liqueur
• 22ml 1:1 honey syrup
• 22 ml lemon juice
• 2 dashes aromatic bitters

METHOD:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all the ingredients.

2. Shake hard to mix the ingredients.

3. Strain and serve the mixture in a tumbler with fresh ice. You can use several cubes, or a single large one – or even an ice ball.

4. Add a slice of fresh ginger to garnish.

Cheers !!!
