Where is the best Penicillin cocktail in town?
The Penicillin is a modern classic cocktail created by Sam Ross, featuring blended Scotch, lemon juice, and a honey-ginger syrup, topped with a float of smoky Islay Scotch for a medicinal, cold-remedy feel. Its name comes from the antibiotic, as its ingredients (honey, ginger, lemon) have traditional health associations, though it's not a real cure. The drink is known for its balance of sweet, sour, and smoky flavors, and is often garnished with candied ginger or a lemon peel.
