Sour · Scotch
Penicillin
The modern classic that cured the sour.
Blended scotch, honey-ginger and lemon with a smoky Islay float — invented in 2005 New York and already a standard everywhere.
Ingredients
- Blended Scotch Whisky60 ml
- Islay Single Malt7.5 ml
- Fresh Lemon Juice22.5 ml
- Honey-Ginger Syrup22.5 ml
- Fresh Ginger2-3 slices
Garnish
Garnish with candied ginger.
Method
- 1Muddle fresh ginger in a shaker and add the remaining ingredients except the Islay malt.
- 2Fill with ice and shake, fine-strain into a chilled old fashioned glass with ice.
- 3Float the Islay single malt on top.
The lesson
A float of a bolder spirit on top means you smell smoke on every sip while the base stays smooth. Aroma and flavour, decoupled.
