Cilantro Penicillin
Intermediate
About the Penicillin This reinvented Penicillin layers smoky, herbal, and spicy flavors into a complex yet approachable cocktail. Empirical Cilantro brings fresh, grassy brightness, Faccia Brutto Centerbe adds alpine herbal depth, and Ayuuk contributes a smoky, chili warmth. Combined with lemon, ginger honey cordial, and a touch of simple syrup, the result is a cocktail that's bold, balanced, and unforgettable—whether served up or over rocks.
