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.
