2 oz Zacapa 23 Rum (Zaya 12)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Honey-Ginger Syrup
Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and float 1/4 oz Laphroaig 10 Year Scotch.
Two Sundays ago, I peered into the Hawthorne bar bible and came across the Amoxicillin as a rum riff on the
Penicillin crafted by Meaghan Dorman at the Raines Law Room. The concept reminded me of John Gertsen's
Panacea that called for a white rum with a Batavia Arrack float instead of a dark rum with a Scotch float. Moreover, the build reminded me of Meaghan's
Wildest Redhead that I enjoyed making for guests asking for something akin to a Blood & Sand at Drink. The Amoxicillin greeted the nose with a peat smoke aroma. Next, lemon and honey on the sip shuffled into dark rum and ginger flavors on the swallow.
