Garnish with pansy. ..and thank you for reminding me of the Bailey's and coke story Jason, I'd forgotten in and it's great for a laugh. If it influences your decision any, this would also be a largely purple drink. Given that mine is missing a stage directions and thus seems less professional, here they are:

I vote J.D.'s drink. Purple, as LuvInIdleness should be... Gin/Grape/Basil? Sounds sumptuous. To N.S: You'll appreciate that once as a wee lad (who had never been to a real bar before) I confidently ordered a Bailey's and Coke at a bar in rural England. I knew I liked Bailey's. I knew I liked Jack 'n' Coke. It made sense to me... I had no idea what I was in for... ;-) Without trying them first?
