Ghetto #1

What happens when you run out of ice and your guests are asking for more alcohol? You aim for whatever you got refridgerated. In this case, there was a bottle of sweetened cranberry juice in the fridge.

These are rough estimates of what probably happened.

In mixing glass, no ice:

• 1-2 part gin
• 1 part freshly squeeze grapefruit
• 2-3 part sweetened cranberry juice (cold)
• Stir well.

Pour above into cocktail glass:

• Add 1/2 - 1 oz tonic water.
• Stir briefly.
• Add lemon twist.
• Serve with apology.

While I was building this, I had an idea for a mango-mint drink. Something on the order of a mango mojito, the mojango. Experiment to come.
