Poor Harriet Cocktail

Apparently an inspiration and a reference from Jane Austen's, Emma; when a character exclaimed "The delightful family party which Emma was securing for herself, poor Harriet must, in every charitable caution, be kept at a distance from."  This is an excellent toasting cocktail. It's semi fruity flavour is light, refreshing and cheerful.
