Orange Maple Penicillin is a delicious combination of orange juice, peated Scotch whisky and honey syrup. It's the perfect refreshment for the cold weather. The first known recipe for this cocktail was published in The New York Times, November 24, 1940. It was written by a woman named Vera Barclay, who said she had been drinking this cocktail for some years. She called it an orange maple because the ingredients are not only orange juice and maple syrup but also Canadian whiskey.
