Agreed. It's intriguing. The first time I ever had a 3 Dots and a Dash I stared at the cocktail for several minutes after the first sip, just trying to wrap my head around what I was tasting. This was early on in my immersion to tiki, but still. I had a similar experience last month at Lei Low, trying out their new Signal Fire cocktail. I've never had much use for Scotch, but they used some in that cocktail in a way that was revelatory for me.

Interesting story about the garlic powder. You're right--it would seem that absolutely not go with those other ingredients, but whereas much of Western cooking is all about harmony and compatibility, a great deal of Asian cuisine is based around contrast. Either way, sounds delicious.
