The Penicillin is an IBA official cocktail made with whisky, ginger, honey syrup, and fresh lemon juice.^[1]

History[]

The drink was created in 2005 by Australian bartender Sam Ross living in New York at the time. Its name derives from the drug penicillin hinting to the medicinal properties of some of its ingredients, with suggested effects similar to that of a hot toddy which is said to relieve the symptoms of cold and flu.^[2]^[3]
