It's a shame you are avoiding gin otherwise i would suggest 'ebola'

Presumably so called because that cocktail has the same survival rate as the virus

I choked a little just reading the recipie
I'm something of a martini man, so I can suggest the simple (though you are avoiding gin) Vodka sweet martini.
3shots Ice cold vodka
1shot sweet white vermouth
Twist of lemon
(I forget how many of these I get out of a shaker... My measures tend to... vary depending on how many I've had before hand)
Oh you can use the citrus flavours of the skittles in skittle vodka instead, quite different, depends on how good your vermouth is.
