Franky Marshall of the Brooklyn cocktail bar Le Boudoir boldly created a cocktail using three tricky spirits that might not seem to mix well: mezcal, Scotch whisky and banana liqueur. Softened and slightly sweetened by honey syrup, they harmonize into a strong, smoky, seductive drink that might make you lose your head (in the best possible way).

I might try this with Drambuie instead of the honey syrup. Drambuie is made in part with honey but the honey syrup as spec is a bit sweet to my palate.
