Penicillin

Name: Penicillin
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 60 ml Blended Scotch Whisky; 7.5 ml Ginger; 22.5 ml Lemon Juice; 22.5 ml Honey; 7.5 ml Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Fresh ginger muddled into a Scotch sour with honey and lemon, then a float of Islay single malt poured over the top so every sip arrives through a layer of peat smoke. The ginger burns a little, the honey coats, and the blended Scotch underneath is malty and soft. Fine-strained over fresh ice with candied ginger. The most-ordered cocktail invented this century, and deservedly.
