IBA
Invented by Sam Ross at New York's Milk & Honey around 2005, the Penicillin has achieved the rare status of a modern cocktail that feels as though it has always existed. Blended Scotch provides the smoky, malty base while honey and fresh ginger create a warm, spiced sweetness that is sharpened into balance by lemon juice. The interplay between smoke, heat, and citrus gives it a medicinal intensity that fully earns its pharmaceutical name.
