Step into the world of chilled cocktails that defy seasonal boundaries, and meet the Penicillin cocktail. Crafted in 2005 by the ingenious bartender Sam Ross at the iconic Milk & Honey in New York, this libation is more than just a drink; it's a playful nod to the comforting and healing properties of its star ingredient – a ginger-infused honey syrup.
A contemporary twist on the timeless whisky sour, the Penicillin features honey, ginger, and a tantalizing float of smoky Islay scotch. This winter elixir delivers all the coziness you crave without the need for warmth. While a garnish of candied ginger is an option, I personally opt for a subtle twist – a modest piece of lemon peel. Elevate your presentation by peeling an extra-long strip, artfully rolling it up, and securing it with a cocktail pick for a touch of elegance reminiscent of a delicate rose. Join me on a journey through the Penicillin cocktail recipe, where sophistication meets refreshing chill.
