July 26-Penicillin

Sam Ross is widely viewed as the more prominent member of the Atta Boy duo. While I would say his partner Michael McElroy deserves more notariety than he gets, today we are talking about a Sam Ross cocktail. The Penicillin is a variant of a gold rush cocktail and this is one of feww times that a variant became more popular than the original. This cocktail could be traced back to a Gold Rush or a Bee’s Knees and it is still outdoing those before it.

This cocktail gets its name form the medicinal properties the main non alcoholic ingredients were believed to have. Those 3 I’m talking about are ginger, honey and lemon. It also has a medicinal taste from these 3, but I mean that in the best way. If I were a doctor, I would prescribe this cocktail for any problem. Now this cocktail typically uses ginger syrup and honey syrup. I would 100% make the honey syrup as its the best way to get the flavour in the drink. All you need to do is boil 1 part water and combine with 1 part honey. The ginger syrup can be replaced with muddled ginger which is what I did here.
