The name of this drink is a tribute 134 Eldridge Street, the address of the original Milk & Honey. The drink itself is Chip Tyndale’s nod to the Penicillin, a well-traveled modern-classic created by bartender Sam Ross at that very address. “The subtle smoke of the Bowmore single malt Scotch enhances the qualities of the Fever-Tree Smoky Ginger Ale,” says Tyndale.
