The Rusty Nail with peated scotch!! Peated scotch nut!! This beauty looks spectacular Steve!! I hope you are super well!! I can’t wait to try this delicious drink!! Love the vegetal Mezcal smoke!!

[@MAKOBITE]

As soon as you said replace the whisky with tequila and the float with mezcal I was on board with this, can't wait to make it at home!

[@gnomestavern8285]

Ooo this is looks great! I can't wait to show my wife we had penicillin when she graduated pharmacy school and love them. So I know she will like this

[@johannestekin4956]

Made this a couple weeks ago for some guests and they loved it! Swapped the Tequila for Sotol to add a bit more earthiness. Also created a Synergy Syrup with ginger syrup, agave, and honey in a 4:2:1 ratio. Add a dash or two of Scrappy’s Firewater to turn up the heat. Cheers!

[@betht555]

A must try for this weeked. Congratulations on the new addition to your family ❤

who would dare ghost steve!!!??? Your the best steve!

Never clicked so fast on a video

[@StevetheBartender_]

Such a good drink!

[@timoncellobar]

I added something similar to my menu once, not knowing it was already a thing! But I used Reposado, agave syrup, homemade ginger-pimento liqueur and a lime twist additional to the mezcal float

[@RoyHanks]

Going to be my next mix for sure. I’ve been doing a little substitute…..I slice and muddle fresh ginger, and use the full volume of sweetness by doubling the honey syrup. I’ve found a lovely fullness from the honey and a little sharper “bite” from the fresh ginger muddle….its great. Also, for those ginger fans I use sushi style ginger slices as a garnish!!

[@boozeontherocks]

I do like the flavours for this cocktail, and the penicillian is a great starting point.

[@drjones7579]

Nice looking riff on the Penicillian. I love Scotch, and now have been trying some higher quality bottles of Tequila than I've had in the past so this is tomorrows cocktail. I have El Tesoro blanco and Ocho Plata to work with & a few different Del Magueys'. I like that there's still some of those older VIDA Classico labels out there with the green lettering, I'm still hangin on to one of those empty bottles for history's sake.

[@Runge_was_here]

I have to try this on my dad. He's not a whiskey guy but likes the way the penicillin sounds when I describe it. Congrats, btw! 🍻

[@SuperStarr817]

Oh this cocktail is one of my faves, it's SO GOOD.

[@RobsHomeBar]

I just made it recently also! Sooo good! My initial thought was also that I want to do a side by side by a penicillin! Haha

[@demetrinight5924]

Mentioning the proper garnish is enough in a a how to video. If you are making a drink for yourself, like you are here, I completely understand not adding a garnish you don't like. Cheers. Also congratulations on your new family member.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

I truly love this riff. Penicillin in cold months Medicina Latina in the hotter months.

[@maitaioneon]

I've always called this drink the Penicilina. Delicious!

[@Restaurant_ife]

I like your style

[@schelzel]

Awesome! Who doesn’t love a penicillin. It’s still May, so a a good trial run for next year’s Cinco De Mayo.

[@Teddyjo1237]

Hey great video. I was just thinking of a concept Id be intrested in seeing on youtube where you would ask people for cocktails they created and then elevate them or change them while explaining your thought proccess. I'm just throwing that idea out there I don't know how feasable it would be but I've seen loads of new interesting cocktails on your Frond and I think people would enjoy seeing how they could enhance their creation.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks for the suggestion.. I’m actually about to start this!

[@GiovannaSessantaSei]

DEFINITELY going to try this soon. Thank you!

[@polishprince7219]

i'm so excited to try this one!

[@Siamfalcon]

Great work mate

[@nicktheflybradley]

Hi Steve, this will get my Tequila Blanco used up. I will sub the Ginger syrup for Kings Ginger Liqueur and make the honey syrup in my jigger. I will make it tomorrow as I now have only 1 cocktail a day. Nick from York

[@hualani6785]

Sounds wonderful! The male household member does enjoy your penicillan. Iʻve watched this 3X to try and figure out how it ends up looking so yellow/orange as if its orange juice cocktail? I use honey syrup too, but with tequila blanco, mezcal = blanco, it’s hard to imagine the ginger & honey syrups alone create such an orange cocktail? Hmm. Seems that they do. Thanks for another great recipe and video.

[@StevetheBartender_]

The Liber & Co ginger syrup seems to give it a bit of a mustard colour.

[@SuperStarr817]

If your ginger syrup has a ginger juice base (vs just an infused syrup), it adds a good amount of colour.

[@GorillaGamingPSN]

Looks amazing. Will have to give this one a whirl mate.

[@daneflanigan]

Liking the pepper!

[@TheBrewersDroop]

That looks amazing. I thought the recipe would have called for agave syrup not honey. I'm sure they tried both and made their choice.

[@callummcintyre713]

Heyup Steve, congratulations on the baby. I know it's not the topic of the video but, I have people over at the weekend and, want to serve Manhattans. Every time I make them though, they end up cloudy. Any idea where I could be going wrong?

[@TheDukeOfReuben]

If you list your ingredients and explain your process you might get a more accurate answer.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks Callum! Hmm... do any of your ingredients look cloudy prior to making them? How old is your vermouth?

[@callummcintyre713]

@@StevetheBartender_ none of them look cloudy, I have substituted the Rye whiskey for Bourbon and, when I asked for "sweet vermouth" at my local liquor shop, the owner said he didn't have any but, gave me "Rosso vermouth" instead saying "it's similar and, will work just as well"?

[@callummcintyre713]

@@StevetheBartender_ thank you for getting back to me aswell.

[@BigFatCock0]

​@@callummcintyre713Are you shaking?

[@dmangTV]

just saw HTD's last video with penicillin and now this. is there a candied ginger shortage going on? lol

[@rykelmähaukka]

How you would use spruce sprout syrup?

[@oo0o0]

This really needs to be referred to as Amexicillin.

[@Is_Parallel]

Where you take so much cocktail recipes?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Sorry, I don’t understand your question..

[@JVC.22]

Try it will only mezcal! Maybe you’ll like it more

[@dioraimccusker4817]

Congrats btw

[@XiaojunMa]

Has anyone tried to garnish this with pickled ginger from sushi restaurant?

[@Cec1nator]

candied ginger hate will not be tolerated! jk, great video and interesting variant of the Penicillin

[@challuedde1120]

Can't wait to try this! Although, a bit confused, as a video from @TheEducatedBarfly had me thinking a barspoon is a specific measurement (which matches the 5ml or teaspoon Steve used) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mkgWqPmLV2nq8si=c0oL4zDgxr0x-N82

[@Jeffronomicon]

I call them Amexicillin at my bar…
