Penicillin

Blended Scotch, lemon, honey and fresh ginger form a sour with a small Islay-whisky float. Its name does not imply a medical benefit; the smoky whisky is an aromatic finishing ingredient.

Active preparation: 4 minutes

Ingredients

• 60 ml Blended Scotch whisky
• 7.5 ml Lagavulin 16-year-old Islay whisky
• 22.5 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 22.5 ml Honey syrup (1:1 honey to water by volume)
• 3 piece Fresh peeled ginger, thin slice
• 1 piece Candied ginger slice, for garnish

Instructions

1. Press the ginger slices in a shaker, then add blended Scotch, lemon juice and honey syrup. Keep the Islay whisky aside.
2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake firmly for about 12 seconds.
3. Fine-strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
4. Float the measured Islay whisky over the surface and finish with candied ginger.
