Today I'm making the Penicillin, a modern classic cocktail invented by Sam Ross while he was at Milk & Honey. It's a fantastic cocktail and frequently requested by the audience here, and it's also a rare opportunity to mix with some Scotch. A few things you might want to know if you don't already- Milk & Honey was maybe the epicenter of the cocktail revival of the early 2000's, really kicked off the "speakeasy" thing, and Sam Ross is a legend, so this drink has some serious pedigree.
Penicillin
.5 oz. or 15 ml. honey syrup
.5 oz. or 15 ml. ginger syrup
.75 oz. or 22 ml. lemon juice
2 oz. or 60 ml. blended Scotch
Shake & Strain
Float a peaty Islay Scotch over the top
Garnish with Candy Ginger

How To Drink
I think the normal make-it→taste-it format is more better than this format. It just feels weird with the tasting notes first.
Do in medias res next! For the format, I mean, but if there's a drink by that name do both.
Yessss .. i was hoping you would do an episode like this
Make then drink, cause that's how the world works!
Everyone's over here buying up all the toilet paper, leaving all this perfectly good whiskey and gin on the shelves.
Thank goodness, what else are we gonna do while sitting at home because everything's closed.
I went to the store this morning and just bought two bottles of gin and hafl a pound of chocolate. I don't know how to feel about that
I've got bourbon, rum, vodka....I need tequila, gin, brandy...at minimum.
@@YTLSF that sounds completely logical to me
Not me my guy, just got back from a preparatory run for when the rest of the populous figures out that the stores are still full lol
concur with the old format. seeing the history and details that go into making the drink set you up for a better understanding of the flavor profile and end result.
having the tasting at the beginning is WRONG and i DO NOT stand for it
I agree. It is tough to understand the tasting notes without knowing what is in the drink.
Agreed
IkeWitt is correct. It’s also jarring...but that’s second to being lost on what you’re actually tasting.
Preach
I watch for entertainment purposes mostly, and I find that I enjoy watching the making THEN the tasting, not the other way around.
Episode review: Personally seeing the tasting notes before seeing what was actually in the drink was a bit confusing; trying to understand your description of the drink was difficult without knowing what was in it. Perhaps if you included the recipe on the screen while you gave the tasting notes at the beginning of the episodes, that would negate the confusion and prove to be a better format. I totally understand how showing the drink at the beginning of the episode can be beneficial though “here’s what to expect from the episode, see if this is the kind of drink that will appeal to you” but for sure I think a recipe shown during that would be huge improvement. As usual though Greg, you never disappoint; all episodes are a pleasure to watch. Keep doing what you do!
Agreed! I could go for you showing the drink and cheering us with a drink, but skip the tasting notes till after
I to had same thing in mind.
I see where you guys are coming from, but I think if he puts the list of ingredients at the beginning of each episode, new viewers will probably be less likely to stick around for his personality and miss the draw of his content. Just a thought.
I don't know about your display, but I just scrolled down in the description to see the recipe while watching.
@@eingames9931 so I guess my thing would only apply to new viewers who don't read the description
I like the tasting after. I find it more interesting to see the drink built and then your reaction to the flavors after. The other seems anti-climatic for me.
Just feedback: Make the drink first, then do the tasting. Makes more sense that way since we can attribute tastes to the ingredients you put in it.
A bit of devils advocate, do a tasting with a brief ingredients list on the side. Get the tasting notes and ingredients up front and watch it be made the proper way afterwards.
I think yes the usual format help us be more involved in the cocktail creation. And I think that's the purpose of this channel in the end.
Are we all just laughing at you? Yes, he does that; and said at the start that this was a little different, but not on purpose .. damn noobies
Agreed.
When you start with the tasting we don't get to experience the lovely ramble of funfacts and other random stuff, which is the normal charm of the video, also tasting last makes a better flow of the video. However thank you for trying to shake things up, the setup was just better before :D
My thoughts exactly! Love your vids and the fact that you're experimenting!
idk i kinda felt like i got spoilers and became less interested in the recipe
This channel is so cool. Dude this is beautifully made. Bless.
My boy has found the channel
Finally, I love this drink so much. Not the biggest fan of the reverse format, maybe it needs to grow on me.
We'll see, I'm trying to game the retention issue here, probably won't make a difference. At any rate, it'll be a long time before you see another "backwards" one even if I do go with this.
@@howtodrink honestly I see this dropping retention more than helping as if I know I would not like a drink up front, why watch more of the video.
How To Drink it just sounds a bit like gibber jabber without the opening and what to expect and how we got the drink
you need to take a crack at the "deep rock galactic" joke beers in game when you drink them they give a bunch of wacky effects and are fantastic to prank your friends or new players if they don't know what they do the list of beers and effects is:
the Arkenstout: freezes player
Blacklock Lager: gives nightmares
Blackout Stout: knocks you out instantly
Blackreach Blonde: makes you dance uncontrollably
Burning Love: lights you on fucking fire
Flintlocke's Delight: lose control of movements
Gut Wrecker: earthquake burps
Mactera Brew: legendary farts
Malt Rockbearer: you become a giant
Seasoned Moonrider: makes you float
Underhill Deluxe: you shrink
Wormhole Special: teleports you to a random location
I'm pretty sure this comment will be buried but I just wanted to get my suggestion out anyway keep up the good work love the channel and I'm exited to try out all your recipes once I turn 21
If we're going for games with joke drinks with weird effects, Space Station 13.
I want a Beepsky Smash.
Captioner made a That’s What She Said joke in the intro, but then let “dry and tight” go by totally uncommented upon? Y’all are a disgrace 😂
Hey this is a family show! It may be hosted by a rambling drunk but ahhh shit who am I kidding
"make your drink the way you want to"
me: pours a glass of lagavulin
I'd love to see you custom make a Jurassic Park tiki drink. Visited Universal's Isla Nu-bar, and they had some good drinks, but I know you can do better. I'm waiting for a drink 65 Million Years in the Making. Spare No Expense 🦖
Bryce McKenzie that would be awesome! I really hope Greg sees this
But the one expense he did (Nedry) sank the whole park into chaos.
T-Rex piss!
It’s starts with an oz of gasoline...
It should include something frozen in an ice cube
I love when Greg does cork reviews. It’s not often but it’s a fun little sidetrack
I'm personally more into the construction of the drink coming before the tasting notes, but good on you for experimentation.
Greg...Did you just Tarantino How to Drink? Start at the end and then roll back to the events. Check out the big brain on Greg!
The build up of making the drink and then finally getting to see all the ingredients come together and taking that first sip is an experience of the show. I think that format is just better. Taking a sip of the drink before you make it kinda is like a killjoy. Plus a lot of these drinks I have never seen before so I like the mystery aspect of that format.
Did Greg judt cork ASMR himself
Yes, yes he did!
Alternative recipe, just as good: 4 oz lagavulin with a lagavulin float.
Torey Roesch lmao
Brilliant! Also, no fiddly ginger stick required.
I prefer 8 oz of Laphroaig with a 4 oz Laphroaig float, keep the goddamn ice and water out of the scotch.
Sounds like Ron Swanson's recipe.
🤣
And this why I love this channel, the comments are so civil and polite about preferring the tasting notes at the end. Yall lovely
Yeah! The Penicillin is absolutely fantastic - I often prepare it at home! And with the recent (Feb 2020) IBA update, it's now an official IBA cocktail!
The Penicillin is one of my favorite cocktails ever and im so happy you did this!
I think the new format switch is odd but i dont mind and it works for classics like this i think
Personally I think I like having the tasting notes afterward! It's fun to watch what goes into a drink and thinking about what it might taste like, and then seeing how your reaction lines up with what I was thinking. Sometimes its a good surprise
Great Share..... Thank you for being you and explaining the tasting notes... it really helps understand the dynamics of the drink
Made a drink to enjoy with this episode, looked down and realized I had basically the same concoction in my glass. +1 to Greg.
In a little bit of trivia, the whiskey that was used at Milk & Honey was specifically the Compass Box Asyla, at least according to somebody I've talked to that had the drink there. Legit no idea if it's still being produced though.
Great video as always!
"The first few sips were pure Lagavulin."
I'm not seeing the problem here.
The remaining sips were not ...
@@jimhill1234 The actual problem 👆
Make it better. Make all the sips Lagavulin.
Hi Greg! Watching your videos has inspired me to get into bar tending, so thanks so much for introducing me to something new and fun!
I’m pretty new to the channel and I really appreciate the captions. They crack me up
I like having the process before the tasting, that build up and anticipation as you make the drink, where the audience doesn't know how you're going to react to the drink until you've tried it, that format itself makes for an interesting video. It's the not knowing what to expect factor for those of us who know jack shit about making cocktails but like watching your videos
Great video as always, personally I prefer the tasting notes after the drink is made.
This format is great! More videos like this!
I'm a big Islay scotch fan and love this drink. It's one of my favorite cocktails! Having said that, I really do think it's best drank through a straw, letting the float blend into the drink as it dilutes and sits. Really great drink.
"Quarantini" garnish with toilet paper
with a float of purell
NileRed made alcohol from toilet paper, he was ahead of the curve on that one.
I actually love the background music. Lifts my mood every time I hear it.
I really like having the tasting notes up front. Honestly, either format is good, but it's fun to see your notes. Having the notes upfront will help people looking for a drink to make know if they want to make the video's drink before watching how to make it.
Truly, a timely cocktail Greg. Well done!
The penicillin is probably my favourite cocktail along with Negroni. I've never tasted such a complex, balanced mixture of flavours. I make mine with famous grouse but may try it with some single malt at some point. I usually float some Laphroaig Quarter Cask or Lore, although I am pretty sure I've used Caol Ila at some point. Thanks a lot Greg!
I make my Penicillin with the Grouse too! (Smokey Black tonight) so I extend to you my fond approval.
@@mommylap Never had Smoky Black Grouse, how is it? I live in Scotland and peated scotch are my thing but I don't how it would be a penicillin with full smoky flavour insted of just a hint. I usually put only a barspoon of Islay scotch, unlike Greg that is being quite abundant on that! Cheers!
DiAnoia’s in Pittsburgh makes an “Amoxicillin”, subbing 2 different amaros for the 2 scotches. It is an amazing drink.
LOVE the format. people who just wanna see the cocktail gain instant satisfacton from the video. those who love history and chit chat will watch until the end. ITS GREAT THIS WAY
I just have to say that I love your videos! My moscow Mule with your ginger syrup recipe is my all time favirote drink!
I will not rest until I can use the phrase "my float may have been a bit thick" into casual conversation.
I'd love to see an episode on making shrubs... and of course, the drinks to use them in!
I love seeing scotch cocktails! Scotch is by far my favourite spirit, so seeing it used in new ways is always cool
I prefer recipies first then taste. I dont make any of them at the moment so knowing what's in it and how it's made helps me understand where everything is coming from.
2:02 Wee tip Greg, it's pronounced "Glaz-Go". Its okay though, you get pass for saying Islay right.
I can go either way on format. The history bits are my favorite, and, as long as those keep getting inject directly into my veins, I will be a happy boy.
I just picked up a 1907ish Hamilton railroad watch. It doesn't wind up but none the less it's very cool. It was my great grandfather's it was passed down through generations. Now it's mine. Awesome!!!
yesterday. finally made ginger syrup. and today Im enjoying this drink. Its really good. thanx. salud🍻from mexico
I'm gonna say this, I hate the new change, where you start with the taste, don't know why, I just think it isn't as good as you building the drink then tasting!
we can all stay indoors safe playing runescape while he makes runescape drinks!! .... please make runescape drinks :(
Resto pot with shark and karambwan float
LOVE THE BRIGHT CELLARS wine box!!!! It is DA BOMB!!!
Can't wait to try this drink! Like the OG format. Stay safe.
Canada just closed its borders to American citizens, but if you need to, I'll sneak you in.
Thanks for sharing your art and everything you do to bring joy in the world.
I'm not sure what JT was saying, but it seemed to me that Americans can cross to Canada but Canadians can't go anywhere? Even the reporters were confused!!
RJEvans44 Americans allowed.
You don't want us; many aren't so good at following instructions. Stay well, my friend🙂
The report I read said all borders but the amarican border was closing to everyone but Canadians? But it's all so confusing I honestly don't know what exactly is going on at our borders..
@@Lord_Godd 👀👀👀
A drink to cure, maybe not the covid, but at least my anxiety.
You ok?
Lovin this new style, especially the full recipe at the end
Absolutely loved this! Thank you, sir!
If my memory serves me correct, the blended scotch is preferably something unpeated (such as Artist’s Blend) so as not to overpower the drink with smoke. Probably my absolute favorite cocktail, but then again I love scotch and I love smoke so no shocker there.
That's what I've heard too.
"What is cork?" would be a great April Fool's day video. :p (As would "What is vodka?" with lots of neutral tasting notes.)
On the format change: it's isn't wrong, but lacks the context of the ingredients to explain why the tasting notes are what they are.
On the mid-show ad: yes please. I'm glad your show supported. And the world needs more HTD
Love your videos! You’re a great insperation, and very useful for parties!
Greetings from Norway!
Everyone else: **complaining about the tasting notes being first**
Me: "That deer looks like it's possessed, what's wrong with its left eye?" o.o
'Quarantini' - I hate this, so so much.
I also love the idea that you made this episode the normal way first, found out the footage was corrupted and decided to say you were shooting it backwards.
Nope, we shot it backwards. My audience retention chart plummets more or less as soon as I get into the tasting notes, in other words the second the drink is complete, so I wanted to test running it the other way.
@@howtodrink Well hopefully it works!
@@howtodrink I'm surprised to hear that. Your tasting notes are always so funny to me!
I appreciate the tasting notes first on the occasions when I will be looking for a specific taste.
Usually, though, I'm here for your wonderful voice and information! I'm not really going to be trying too many of these.😅
Great video all-around! I didn't mind the tasting at the beginning. It was fun to try and guess what was in it. Not something I'd want you to do all the time but I liked that y'all changed it up.
The backwards format felt very much like a "Yup. That's me. You're probably wondering how I got here."
I've been memeing with this drink at the bar I work at. I make a penecilin in a shot and then drop it into a Corona to create a coronavirus
flipped style is awesome. Having allergies to ingredients like cinnamon and knowing the flavor we are getting into first is pretty great. fan of that.
I have never heard of this drink but a definite future try, and that my friends is only one of the reasons I love HTD
Background music took me back to New Orleans and im so here for it!! Especially while fantasizing about either crafting this cocktail myself and/or drinking one in the streets of the Quarter😜🤩 this sounds amazing as I’m both obsessed with ginger and love a good balance of intensity and sour; format for me is fine either way as long as they always end in stumbling mumbling hilarity at the end😉🥃best part! Cheers!
Everytime I do this cocktail I watch this video. Thanks. Salud🍻from mexico
I really enjoy your shows and it help me out on party drinks
I couldn't agree more! This is one of the best cocktails!
Like the tasting notes at the end. Like seeing it built then how it tastes when all together.
Just to comment on the format, I like you starting with the tasting notes before going into making the drink. Good experiment!
I enjoy where we see you make it first. It feels like we earned the tasting notes by being there while you make it.
All formatting is chill, as long as you're being you, I'll watch start to finish :3
Well done! Love this drink
Whatever gets you drinking more Greg! I'll watch!
This is my favorite cocktail in the world of cocktails i love it my local bar makes a killer one.
Hi, big fan of the show. I prefer the tasting notes at the end, it's fun to see the ingredients and process before getting the tasting notes to see if the expectation matches the actual drink.
Everyone seems to be saying it already, but I like the tasting notes at the end. Btw: love your videos! I started mixing drinks after I became a repeat viewer.
Yes Greg! I love starting my night out with one of these Puppies!
I have to be up at 5am to see patients again tomorrow, but I am so excited for this drink. The sweet gal over at the diviest karaoke bar in town made me a surprisingly great Penicillin when I was in for lunch a while back. I'll put this one on hold for now and see if the liquor store has anything left on the shelf when the weekend rolls around.
Personally I prefer the tasting notes at the end. I think it creates a story arc that is very satisfying. Love love love all of your videos. Thanks for doing them.
Definitely prefer this format!
I happened to have the ingredients on hand, and this is a damn good drink!
As an Islay lover, this is by far my favorite cocktail! Glad to see it featured. A bartender put an interesting twist on it for me by using a mezcal float instead of Scotch, which was pretty damn good.
I do a raw ginger syrup for this, grind up the ginger in food processor and then squeeze it out with a nut milk bag. Mix with sugar in a jar to dissolved.
I do this because I also use 10 year Laphroaig for the whole pour instead of the float. It's crazy intense but lemon ginger smoke are all locked in an intense battle for dominance but none prevail for long. The honey is there in the back to soothe the rough edges between the intense blasts of flavor.
Honestly, I like going on the drink making journey before getting the tasting. I like knowing why your tasting whatever notes are in the drink. Gonna keep watching either way though; I love this channel.
know someone who used to work at M&H london there's a few mistakes here that lead to a very different drink. firstly best to use Artist blend for the body of the drink not a peated scotch the original used Asyla but artist blend actual fits a bit better and Aslya is very rare these days. They use Peat Monster and always have for the float. The ginger syrup and this is the biggy needs to be made from ginger juice and sugar not ginger steeped in syrup. this is then premixed with honey syrup 2.1 and the mix is used in equal parts with the lemon juice so the cocktail reads as 40ml AB 20 h&g syrup 20 lemon 10 PM. I thoroughly recommend trying it this way as it really punches other versions out the water.
I think an open with a vague description of the taste would be a nice opener, but I like the full description after the time it takes to make the drink. The opener to intrigue us, but the ingredients to hook us. The final verdict to pay it all off.
Made ginger syrup sous-vide, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and 1 "cup" thinly sliced ginger, 185° C for 30 mins and chill. Pretty strong results as well.
I like this format, it's just as good as the other one. I prefer tasting first just because it's new to me, and I like seeing you change things up from time to time, keeps the show alive
Oh wow I didn't realize this was a year old oops
Very interesting drink, want to try it out!
But honestly suprised to see you run a D&D twitch, that's so cool!
I do like building the drink then the tasting notes so I can see what’s in it that causes that note, but I can also appreciate the notes first and discovering the ingredients that make it so. Basically I’ll keep watching not matter what, so I’m not sure why I’m commenting.
I love this flavor profile. I personally prefer a Glasgow mule, but both are fantastic
Great content as allways
