First time trying the Penicillin, it turned out really good! I didn’t have any Islay scotch to add on top, but I’ll buy some soon to try it. My ginger syrup was quite strong, so it overpowered the honey syrup a bit. I might try with less next time!


I know it’s not by the book, but I just muddle some fresh ginger slices and add simple syrup. Learned that from Anders’ version on Youtube.
I’ve typically made a combined honey ginger syrup and it’s not quite spicy enough. Muddled ginger in the cocktail has helped. Was interested in different options.
