Curious Penicillin

Curious Penicillin is a vibrant, modern agave-based twist on the iconic scotch cocktail, balancing sweet, sour, and fiery elements. It utilizes a split base of 1.5 oz of The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco and 0.5 oz of smoky The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín. This structural foundation is shaken vigorously with 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz of cold-pressed ginger juice for a spicy bite, and 0.25 oz of organic honey. Double-strained into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnished with a piece of ginger candy, it offers a beautifully layered, sweet-and-spicy sipping experience.

Ingredients:

  • 1½ oz / 45ml The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco

  • ½ oz / 15ml The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín

  • ¼ oz / 7.5ml Organic Honey

  • ¾ oz / 20ml Fresh Lemon Juice

  • ½ oz / 15ml Cold Pressed Ginger Juice

Instructions:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake it up, then fine-strain into a rock glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with a little ginger candy, sip back, and relax.
