Whiskey - there's no Penicillin without the whiskey, and trust me, the flavor pais beautifully with the other ingredients here.Fresh rosemary sprigs for that aromatic garnish, optional but looks fancy and it's so good as a cocktail garnish (I also use it for my apricot gin fizz!).Honey to sweeten the drink with a floral note.Tons of fresh ginger - that spicy punch is incredible!.So the ingredients needed for this cocktail will sure make you feel like you're drinking a delicious sore throat remedy: Just explaining the origin of the name, and that I totally get the name! It is such a cozy drink that is so easy to like, no matter if you're healthy or feeling a cold sneaking up on you. Alcohol will help you relax too, so in small amounts it can help you sleep (ever heard of a nightcap?).Īnyway, I'm not saying this is a health drink. Whiskey can also be a great decongestant, alleviating cold symptoms. That's why this sore throat tea is my preferred way of dealing with a - you guessed it - sore throat! In addition, lemon juice is high in vitamin C which is also good for sore throats. Honey is also antibacterial, and research suggest that it is can be an effective cough suppressant. Ginger is good for improving your immune system, it has antibacterial qualities, it can settle an upset stomach (although this green smoothie may be better for that than this cocktail!), and it can relieve pain and nausea. Just like a hot toddy, these ingredients are said to relieve symptoms of a cold or a flu. It is called the Penicillin as a hint to the drug penicillin because of the medicinal properties of the ingredients in this drink. And it is sweet, spicy and just strong enough without overpowering the flavors from the honey and ginger. I have altered this recipe to be a little less alcoholic, which is just my preference. I was introduced to this recipe through Cocktail Chemistry's version of the Penicillin. This means that this recipe only has one kind of whiskey, and you know what - I don't care, because this is a darn good cocktail that I'm sure you will like too! However, I am one of those who only own one whiskey and do not run to the liquor store to buy things I'd rarely use. It is topped with a stronger woody whiskey, such as an Islay Malt. It uses a mild whiskey as its base, along with ginger, honey and lemon. The Penicillin was originally created by the New York bartender Sam Ross in 2005 and is usually made with whiskey, although I've seen it with both rum and tequila as well. Did you make this recipe?
