Cocktail time - The Penincillin

The Penincillin is a variation of the famous Whisky Sour. It's a great cocktail and it's not hard to make. A quick recipe for those who want to try it:

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces scotch
• 3/4 ounce lemon juice
• 3/4 ounce honey-ginger syrup*

*you can easily find how to make your own honey-ginger syrup but, as an alternative, you can just use honey-syrup and mash some ginger in the shaker before you add the ingredients. Go easy on the ginger because it BITES!

Steps:

• Add the scotch, the lemon juice and the sryup into a shaker with ice and give it a good shake
• Strain into a glass with ice
• Garnish with a piece of candied ginger

As you can see from the picture, I didn't have any candied ginger handy so I just used a lemon zest for garnish, which is completely fine. But I do recommend you get some candied ginger, as it complements the drink very well.

That's it for this post! Let me know on the comments what are your favourite cocktails and maybe I'll feature them on future posts!
