The Penicillin Cocktail: A Smoky KC Twist

Thirsty Thursday Cocktails – Episode 31: The West Bottoms Penicillin

Step into our home bar as we craft a truly exceptional American Single Malt cocktail: The West Bottoms Penicillin. This isn’t just a drink—it’s a tribute to Kansas City’s West Bottoms Whiskey, blending their smooth, malty whiskey with a smoky float of their peated Distiller’s Cut.

Watch along as we teach you how to make a Penicillin and explore the unique flavor of this smoky whiskey cocktail. We combine fresh lemon juice, our homemade honey-ginger syrup, and these two incredible whiskeys to create a balanced, complex, and unforgettable drink. The result is a modern classic cocktail with a local twist. This is the ultimate Penicillin cocktail recipe for any whiskey lover.
