I'm a huge eggplant fan. I love it in just every type of preparation as long is it is properly cooked; I don't care for it al dente.

That being said, the eggplant flavor was barely noticeable; they only infuse the simple syrup with it.

Here is the recipe as published by the Philadelphia Magazine:
To make the smoked eggplant spritz at Friday Saturday Sunday, they infuse smoked eggplant into simple syrup, then serve it in an icey glass with black tequila, Cappelletti (a slightly bitter, herbal Italian aperitif) and a splash of soda (garnish with orange twist and mint). Its the perfect drink to get your appetite going for Friday Saturday Sundays epic tasting menu.

No eggplants, just cocktails and a Malbec at Castaways in Burbank:

l love the stuff, but most of all when it has been sliced thin, breaded and fried. I dont think Id care for it in a drink though.
