Penicillin

Penicillin bar opened in November 2020, taking up 1,520sq ft of space of the former Buddha Lounge on Hollywood Road. The bar, named after the modern classic cocktail, Penicillin (made with honey, lemon, ginger, a strong dose of Scotch, and a splash of smoky Islay whisky), and the antibiotic from which the cocktail got its name, creates drinks with an eco-friendly twist that will not only cure any cocktail fix but hopefully the bar industry's sustainability quandaries. The facility, which includes a lab, bar, kitchen, and fermentation area, focuses on recycling and upcycling items that would otherwise wind up in the trash. From upcycling potato peels into bar snacks, recycling paper and leftover ingredients into handmade bottle labels, and utilising local ingredients to help conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions created by the import industry, the bar has been creatively thinking of new ways to reduce its carbon footprint.

The One Penicillin, One Tree cocktail project plants one native Mallotus Muticus tree (commonly known as the swamp tree) in Borneo's Kalimantan rainforest. Each One Penicillin, One Tree drink (the ingredients and offers will change seasonally) saves an average of 150g of CO2. Penicillin aspires to motivate more people and businesses to become more environmentally sensitive and to do more for future generations.
