Penicillin – BIRD

The Penicillin is a neo-classic whisky balanced sour with a hint of peat, citrus and flowery nectar. Invented by Sam Ross and first served at the wonderful NYC bar Milk & Honey back in the early years of this century. The idea is to make a balanced flavor spectrum between lemon, ginger, flowers and peated whiskey. In this version, unrested Stauning whisky adds a crisp punch and with our house made ginger vermouth, this cocktail proves a punchy, peppery yet refreshing sour.

bird is your small, local neighborhood bar where soft tunes from cracky vinyls fills the room from hand build speakers and custom made hard ware. We love music and we surely adore vintage hard ware, but we are not super rich audiophiles. Expect good, clean and inspiring sound.

Bottled cocktails are ready to pour over ice and drink as they come or with some creative finish of your own choice.

With soothing tunes, bird serves classic cocktails inspired in a modern style. Classic means in this case that we base our cocktail program on good, solid traditions of drinks making with a few decades of KH to draw from. Modern means current flavor profiles that are playfull and fun more than aristoctratic and boring. Flavor is king and we wanna inspire more than educate, so don’t expect classic sours and egg white laced fruit martinis that we arrogantly render best in town. Our menu is heavily rotated and monthly changed. We batch all our drinks and we rarely use fresh citrus juice and added sugar. Expect a list of drinks where alcohol and good spirits are key.
