Penicillin

Ingredients

• 60 ml blended Scotch whisky
• 7.5 ml Islay single malt
• 22.5 ml lemon juice
• 22.5 ml honey-ginger syrup
• 1 pieces candied ginger

Steps

1. 1
   Make the honey-ginger syrup: simmer equal parts honey and water with a thumb of sliced fresh ginger for 5 minutes, then steep an hour and strain.
2. 2
   Shake the blended Scotch, lemon juice and honey-ginger syrup with ice for 10 seconds.
3. 3
   Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.
4. 4
   Float the Islay malt on the surface by pouring it slowly over the back of a bar spoon. It should sit on top, so the smoke hits the nose before the drink hits the tongue.
5. 5
   Garnish with a piece of candied ginger.
