Crossword Genius

Drink ice ran out .. unfortunately (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cointreau

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ice ran out unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ice'+'ran'+'out'='iceranout'
'iceranout' with letters rearranged gives 'COINTREAU'.

(Other definitions for cointreau that I've seen before include "Sweet orange-flavoured colourless liqueur" , "Alcoholic drink" , "A sweet orange-flavoured liqueur for cautioner" , "Orange liqueur" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
