Shake with ice, strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice, and float 1/8 oz Laphroaig Scotch. The honey-ginger syrup can be made on the fly by muddling 2 small coins of ginger in 1:1 honey syrup.
Drink came about in Oaxaca and finalized at home.
During a bar shift in Oaxaca, I had a local bartender who said that he preferred more bitter drinks. I got creative given the limited liqueur and syrup bottles on hand. For one of the drinks, I ended up making a ginger for passion fruit riff on the Clown Car (using lime juice since we lacked lemon) that reminded me of a Ferrari crossed with a Penicillin. A few days after returning home, I recreated this flavor profile using the lemon juice that I lacked and ended up floating a smoky Scotch on top as an accent. Since the two drinks that it reminded me of were named after a car and a fix-it, I dubbed this the Body Shop.
