Penicillin Cocktail
1 serving
5 minutes
For years, using expensive single malt whiskey in cocktails was considered disrespectful and a waste of product. Even the original Penicillin, created by Sam Ross, a bartender at Milk & Honey in New York City, uses blended whiskey as the main ingredient and just a drop of single malt. We've gone further and made a more wasteful version.
