Notes
DEHYDRATING
Dehydrating pumpkin takes about 16 hours, so make the garnishes in advance. These treats can last for 6 to 12 months stored in an airtight container with a desiccant pack (silica gel packet).

FAQs
What is a Penicillin cocktail?
A modern classic made with Scotch, lemon juice and honey-ginger. My Halloween version adds Lapsang souchong for smoke and a dehydrated pumpkin garnish.
Can I make it less smoky?
Yes. Use less Lapsang souchong, or leave it out for a brighter, honey-ginger forward drink.
How far ahead can I prep it?
The honey-ginger syrup and garnishes can be made days ahead and kept in the fridge. Shake each drink to order.
