Penicillin Cocktail With Ginger Lemon And Honey Recipes

PENICILLIN COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Make the honey-ginger syrup: Add the honey, water, and ginger root to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then allow the syrup to cool. Strain and store in the fridge.
• Make the cocktail: Pour the blended Scotch, lemon juice, and honey-ginger syrup into a shaker. Add ice, shake, and strain into a rocks glass with ice. Float the Islay scotch on top by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon. Garnish with candied ginger, lemon peel, or both. Enjoy!

PENICILLIN COCKTAIL WITH GINGER, LEMON AND HONEY

Steps:

• Remove the peel from the ginger and roughly chop it. It's easiest to scrape using the back of a spoon.
• Using a juicer: this is the most efficient way of juicing your ginger. Add the peeled ginger to the juicer and it will do the rest!
• Using a food processor/blender: Add the peeled chunks of ginger to your food processor and pulse until it forms a paste. If using a blender you may need to add a couple of tablespoons of water to help it out. Strain this mixture through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth, squeeze the juice out of the pulp.
• Then combine the ginger juice with an equal amount of sugar. So 1/2 cup of ginger juice needs 1/2 cup of sugar. Shake well to dissolve the sugar. Strain into a jar with a tight lid. This mixture holds in the fridge for at least 1 month.
• Mix honey with warm water until the honey dissolves. Pour into a jar with a tight lid and it will keep in the fridge for at least 1 month.
• Combine ginger syrup, honey syrup, lemon juice and whiskey with a few ice cubes in a shaker. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into your favorite whiskey glasses. Serve with or without ice.
• I also love to garnish with a rosemary sprig. It adds a nice, aromatic touch that goes wonderfully with ginger and whiskey. Relax, and enjoy all this 'cures all' drink has to offer.

Steps:

• Combine the blended Scotch with the honey-ginger syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker three-quarters filled with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with one large cube. Top with the Islay Scotch and garnish with candied ginger.
• To make the honey-ginger syrup, combine 1 cup of honey with one 6-inch peeled and sliced piece of ginger root with 1 cup of water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Refrigerate overnight, then strain, discarding the solids.
