I liked a fruity twist of Absolut Mandarin (oddly, tastier than Domaine Charbay orange, which uses real fruit) with a touch of Cointreu (or triple sec). Also, for extra special treatment, you can infuse your own gins or vodkas. A lime or lemon-infused gin is a nice base. (Cut up a bunch of fruit, throw it in a pitcher, pour alcohol over it, let it sit for 2 weeks, strain fruit out with cheesecloth). Making a cantaloupe and watermelon infused vodka, icing it down and putting in a martini glass is nirvana. First discovered that blend in Quark's bar in LV Hilton (yes, I'm a trekkie; it's been established). sadly, they don't have infused alcohols anymore... pineapple infused rum is good too!
