First time trying the Penicillin, it turned out really good! I didn’t have any Islay scotch to add on top, but I’ll buy some soon to try it. My ginger syrup was quite strong, so it overpowered the honey syrup a bit. I might try with less next time!


I do equal parts (by weight) diced ginger, boiling water, and sugar. Add everything in a blender, blend until the ginger is fully shredded (only takes 1-2 minutes, but it might depend on the blender). I then let it rest for maybe 10 minutes, and strain it to only keep the liquid.
I have seen this method online somewhere, and it does give a really intense ginger taste!
