Penicillin

5 months ago by MaybeSushi to c/cocktails

  • 2 oz blended whisky
  • 1/2 oz honey syrup (3:1)
  • 1/4 oz ginger syrup
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice

Shake everything with ice and serve.

First time trying the Penicillin, it turned out really good! I didn't have any Islay scotch to add on top, but I'll buy some soon to try it. My ginger syrup was quite strong, so it overpowered the honey syrup a bit. I might try with less next time!

How'd you make your ginger syrup?

I do equal parts (by weight) diced ginger, boiling water, and sugar. Add everything in a blender, blend until the ginger is fully shredded (only takes 1-2 minutes, but it might depend on the blender). I then let it rest for maybe 10 minutes, and strain it to only keep the liquid.

I have seen this method online somewhere, and it does give a really intense ginger taste!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
