Celebrate Rabbie Burns with Dewars

I know Rabbie Burns’ Day is supposed to be all about celebrating the Scottish poet and enjoying some Haggis. But I am all about the drinks.

PENICILLIN

Ingredients:

• 1.5 parts DEWAR’S 12 Blended Scotch Whisky .75 parts Lemon juice
• .75 parts Honey syrup
• 3 slices fresh ginger
• Candied ginger garnish

Method:

1. Using a wooden muddler, muddle the fresh ginger in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until it is well mashed.
2. Add the blended Scotch, lemon juice, and honey syrup, and fill shaker with ice.
3. Shake until well chilled (about 20 seconds).
4. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass (you may wish to double strain through a fine tea strainer to remove the small flecks of ginger), and spray the Islay Scotch over the top.
5. Garnish.
6. Enjoy.
7. Repeat.
