Why a Penicillin is shaken and floated: the spec, the syrup and the smoke

The Penicillin is a modern classic from New York: blended Scotch, lemon, honey and ginger, with a thin float of smoky Islay whisky on top.

Use the scaler to change the number of drinks, switch between ml and oz, and see how the smoke float changes the glass. Then learn why it is shaken and floated, how to make the honey-ginger syrup, and how to bend it into a lighter or alcohol-free version.
