Penicillin is probably one of the best cocktail ever created and that I ever tasted. Sam Ross has created so many cocktails but this is above others. It's interesting how many cocktails created under Sasha Petraske's supervision have honey in it, just to mention the Gold Rush and this one.

Sam Ross is a legend! Before I knew anything about Milk & Honey, I was at a shop and found Sasha Petraske's book and was flipping through it and had to buy it since I was snapping pictures of so many of the recipes, many of them from Sam who I knew because of my love of his Paper Plane cocktail. That book is fantastic and exposed me to some great Sam Ross recipes such as the Cynar-forward 'Too Soon' and introduced me to the Ross Ratio for sours 2 : 3/4 : 3/4, which I'm surprised took me ~2 years of amateur at-home cocktail making to discover. The book led me to Sam's app 'Bartender's Choice' which, while having a somewhat clunky UI, is filled with sooo many solid recipes that it has become one of my go to resources now. There are drinks where I prefer other specs than the app includes, such as the 'Sidecar' (& family like White Lady) where ironically I prefer specs closer to the Ross Ratio that I cross referenced from PDT & Serious Eats: 2 : 3/4 : 3/4 : 1/4 (simple or demerara syrup), or the 'Tipperary' where I use 'Little Italy'-esque specs from Imbibe: 2 : 3/4 : 1/2. Regardless, Sam is my favorite bartender and I love his and Milk & Honey's style of building recipes up from solid template-based foundations that makes them classic, memorable, delicious!

If anyone has a peated Kilchoman (Loch Gorm comes to my mind) I suggest to try it has a float in plae of Laphroaig. The reason I am saying is that Kilchoman has also a salty component which I think it will add a furhter dimension to this already amazing cocktail.

I remember the first time I had Laphroaig 10, my brother bought it for me as a birthday gift. I hated it, but knew it was expensive so I kept trying it… like once a week I’d pour a finger of it and sip on it. By the time I finished the bottle I was hooked. It’s now my favorite spirit. Any cocktail featuring an Islay scotch, immediately shoots to the top of my list.

It’s nice and peaty but costs less than Laphroaig 10.

Negroni is very sweet and medicinal so like you I do the same ratio as Boulevardier and even sometimes decrease the vermouth because I like drier cocktails.
