In the interest of being helpful, can you describe what this stuff is like a little bit? I'm picturing something a little like Chambord, with a more tropical flavor instead of berry, but still very sweet and syrupy. Is that about right? If so, my version of a drink that was popular for a while in Seattle, the Grape Nehi, is the Bali Hai: 2 oz. Chambord (poured a little shy) 2 oz. Absolut Mandarin (poured a little heavy) 1/2 oz. orange juice 1/4 oz. lemon juice 1/4 oz. lime juice Shaken with ice and strained into an up glass. Seems like that recipe might work with this stuff in place of the Chambord. Not sure what you could call it; please just don't call it a Sizzurpini.
