The cocktail is typically based on a mixture of whiskey—often incorporating both blended Scotch and a peated single malt for depth—as well as the spicy warmth of ginger liqueur. The addition of lemon juice brings a refreshing acidity to the drink, while honey syrup rounds it out with a smooth sweetness. Served in a lowball glass, the Penicillin offers a complex and soothing flavor profile that has made it a favorite among cocktail aficionados seeking a bold yet balanced libation.
