HPNOTIQ's new offshoot no shy violet

Chalk up another entry in the "Why Do They Spell It That Way?" column.

HPNOTIQ, the liqueur from Heaven Hill Distilleries, is in the midst of a nationwide launch of a new version, called Harmonie. It is a mixture of French vodka, natural fruits, flowers, and Cognac, which results in a violet color compared to HPNOTIQ's vivid blue hue. The distiller recommends it as a cocktail ingredient, although it's not bad straight on the rocks.

Suggested retail price: $22.99 for the 750ml size. Also available in 1 Liter, 375ml, and 50ml sizes.

Heaven Hill Distilleries knows a thing or two about liquers/apertitifs. Included in its portolio are PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur and Dubonnet.
