Jolene's Bittersweet cocktail is a Penicillin riff

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ABERFELDY

The Penicillin is one of the great drinks to be born this century, helping to encourage bartenders and punters alike to get acquainted with single malt as a cocktail ingredient.

It also happens to be the inspiration for this take, the Bittersweet cocktail at Jolene's Sydney. A good whack of Aberfeldy 12 is complemented by the herbal and sweet Yellow Chartreuse, and rounded out with some amaro, local honey and ginger syrup, and a smoky mezcal float on top.
