Penicillin Cocktail

When you prepare this drink, you should first prepare the honey ginger syrup. You can easily do this yourself by heating 200g of sugar and about 100g of ginger together with 200 ml of water in a pot. Make sure that the mix is only heated and should not boil. Let everything boil for about 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir the drink constantly with a spoon so that nothing can stick to the bottom. Now you can let the pot cool down and store it in the fridge overnight. The next day, strain the syrup through a cloth so that you get a clear syrup without any pieces. You can now store this syrup in the refrigerator for about 7 days and use it to prepare cocktails.

For the Penicillin cocktail, put the honey-ginger syrup you have just prepared into a shaker together with 5 cl of whisky and 2 cl of lemon juice. Add a few ice cubes and shake the drink until the outside of the shaker fogs up slightly. Now you can strain the mix through a bar strainer into a tumbler filled with new ice cubes. Carefully add the Isla whisky. It is best to drizzle this onto a bar spoon so that it can easily stand out from the other ingredients. Now just garnish with a slice of ginger or a cocktail cherry and serve. This is how quickly you can prepare a penicillin cocktail at home.
