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

Pour above into cocktail glass:

1. Add 1/2 – 1 oz tonic water
2. Stir briefly
3. Add lemon twist
4. 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.
