I'd like to second Audubon's suggestion of incorporating slivovitz. Here's a posting from Liquor.com that sounds tasty and perhaps easily adaptable to non-alcoholic version with some macerated plums:
TESLA COILINS
Contributed by Ivan Radulovic and Danilo Bozovic
INGREDIENTS:
1.75 oz Slivovitz or other aged plum brandy
1 oz Fresh lemon juice
.75 oz Vanilla Citrus Honey Syrup*
.75 oz Simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
1.5 oz Club soda
Garnish: Purple plum half
Glass: Collins
PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients except the club soda to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake very hard and strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Top with the club soda and garnish with half of a purple plum.
Vanilla Citrus Honey Syrup
INGREDIENTS:
1 Vanilla bean
3 cups Water
1.5 cup Acacia honey
Peels of 8 oranges
PREPARATION:
Score the vanilla bean and scrape out the pulp using the tip of a knife. Add the pulp and bean to a small saucepan along with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool completely and strain into a quart container.

The Hot List: Fall Cocktail Ingredients
suggested modifications: less syrup, as the suggested proportions seem *really* sweet to me, and garnish with a spoonful of cut plum pieces or even pluot pieces to try to mimic the tanginess of damson plums.

Whatever the cocktail ends up being, I envisioned a high-tech barist(esl)a making halogen siphon coffee...
In re the matter of Electric Blue Lemonade, our professional drink menu assembler reported back:Respond with smooth and refreshing!
I know helium 'works' & I think N2O would too but I have only seen a whip cream canister used for a single pint - extra creamy, more like a beer on Nitrogen

What a cool-looking device... makes me want to find a use for it at the party.

Each flask of siphon coffee serves 3 in my experience. Exceedingly smooth and exceedingly potent at the same time.
Very space-efficient.

When we stopped to charge and grab a bite at Harris Ranch recently, I noticed there was a Tesla-Tini (martini) on their drink menu. A tip of the cap to their growing new customer base?

OK, now I gotta ask... how is this connected with Tesla? Blue cheese olive garnish? I don't get it. Waaah.

Harris Ranch is located about halfway between L.A. and S.F. on Interstate 5. It was one of the Original Six supercharger sites, and I think it may have been the first Roadster charger site, and it's the location of the first (only?) battery swap station as well.
So they definitely have a longtime Tesla connection, and they know that a lot of their customers have stopped there to recharge their cars. The blue cheese olive thing is weird though.
Thanks for the Harris Ranch back-story, I knew that it had long-standing significance but I appreciate the details.
It's the blue cheese olive garnish's possible connection to Tesla that I don't understand. And from your response and the subsequent sound of crickets, maybe no one else gets it either.
