For this week's video we are making a fun riff of one of my all-time favorite cocktails, the Penicillin. Our drink today was created by Akash Shah at the Indian themed food and cocktail blog, Cykochef.

What's cool about this drink is that it keeps the base spirit the same while swapping in some ingredients that are commonly used in Ayurvedic remedies. Plus it's delicious!
