@DAVIDDOWNEY23 absolutely, you can go with a boiled syrup for a softer flavour, or mash some raw ginger for the spice... it does depend on the whisky and what you're aiming for, but the penicillin, when done right, with a bit of care and fore-thought, is really hard to beat!
In Hell all the shelves are stocked with nothing but Johnnie Walker Red. A bit surprised that you just didn't upgrade to The Black as it's not that much more expensive than The Red, especially since it's the base of the cocktail. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the cocktail. I will have to give this a try. There is a tale involving Sir Winston and his preferred recipe for a Martini when he was asked how dry he would like his martini, where he told the bartender to pour a shot of gin into a chilled martini glass, look in the direction of Italy, and hand him the glass. Thus, I am surprised that the creator of this cocktail used any vermouth at all.
Johnnie walker red is never allowed enter my home! 😂 I had heard that story about Churchill, but the glance towards Italy (France in some tellings) was because it was during the war and they couldn't get any vermouth from the continent, so they could only nod in their direction.
@@TheWhiskeyNerd The truth is now known! A bit disappointing, but the truth nonetheless. Imagine a world without vermouth! Another evil perpetrated by fascists.
I've just mate a terrible cocktail-shite thingy with rum martini rosso triple sec jb rum and orange juice. After I finish this I will definetly go make one of this since my original goal was making something other than negroni using vermouth. Thank you algorithm! (I've also wasted the rum a bit)
What's your favourite Scotch cocktail?
Rusty Nail, as I am a Drambuie whore...
the rusty nail haha
@@BuzzWithYourCuz a classic!
I think Penicillin is a fabulous cocktail, but it does need a bit of work in preparing the ginger - honey syrup. Still, its worth the effort I reckon.

I'd have to upgrade all of these ingredients! Cheers!
You should! Would probably make for a better cocktail in the end result!
This sounds yummy! I love lime!
It's so good!

I'd add the JW Black to the Red for Hell! I'd have to upgrade! Cheers!

That's a bit of a shame about that rum cocktail, but hopefully you'll enjoy this one!
Very similar to the James Joyce!
@@Davidjones-ox4yk yeah, I think Bartenders were always looking for inspiration back then, and didn't have as many ingredients as we do today!
