Get ready to shake, stir, and sip your way into a world of flavor wonder, because when life throws lemons at you, we say make a Penicillin that’s as potent as a mixological potion and as enchanting as a wizard’s spell!
Yield and Total Time: This recipe is your express ticket to two glasses of mixological sorcery, and you’ll be toasting with your Penicillin in just 10 minutes. Because waiting for a cocktail cure is like waiting for a magician to pull a rabbit out of a hat – suspenseful, but in the end, utterly magical.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of blended Scotch whisky (the debonair hero of our mixological saga)

- 1/4 ounce of ginger syrup (the fiery companion that brings the flavor heat)
