Master the Penicillin | Modern Classics | BetterAvecBourbon

We’re well into winter, which means we’re also deep into cold and flu season. So what better time to make the Penicillin: a bold, smoky, sweet, and spicy cocktail. Garnished with a ginger candy or with something a little bolder. For ingredients you’ll need smoky, Islay scotch such as Laphroaig or Laguvullin. You’ll only use a little but a little goes a long way if it’s smoky enough. Blended scotch, such as Monkey Shoulder or Johnny Walker Black but never red, some 3:1 honey syrup, fresh lemon juice, and some fresh, sliced ginger.
*do not follow my chopping technique LOL*
