Thanks to a user tip, I merged this with the "Apricot and Averna Bourbon Sour". Because SE has some mediocre naming conventions when it comes to cocktails, I'm keeping our name for it. Thanks, Zachary

- Tastes about like you'd expect. Mezcal in your rosé. Y'know what they say?

Au diable! I knew I misremembered. Thanks Frog. I meant "a la," a phrase I think I got from Nabokov, but now I like au better.

Used Smith & Cross, and it didn't bully the other flavors. A touch sweet, but rum/cherry/lime/vanilla is a very tasty combo. Be careful with the allspice dram
Expo 74
2 oz Gin, Dry Fly
1 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Lilac syrup (See notes for recipe)
3 oz Sparkling white wine
1 twst Lemon zest
Instructions
To make lilac syrup: Pick fresh lilacs and remove all stems. Cover with equal parts sugar and water, and heat gently (do not boil!) for a couple of hours - or heat it up, turn the burner off, and leave to infuse overnight. Strain. Add 1/3 c. lemon juice per 6 c. syrup to lower the pH for water-bath canning, if desired.
Mix the drink like a French 75.
