Name this drink!

Our brother-in-law, Bert, made this one up. It is his standard after-work cocktail, at least for last summer:

Fill a 20-oz pint glass with ice. Add:

Double shot of dark rum (Gosling's for ex)
Almost enough grapefruit juice to fill the glass
Splash of tonic water

Stir.

The sweetness of the rum goes great with the bitter grapefruit juice, and the tonic adds just enough bite. We've been calling this a Bitter Bert, Tall Dark and Bitter, Bert of Paradise and the Flaming Bert. None really fits. Any ideas?

Update: Bert didn't have a name for this, but he thought of adding a float of pomegranate juice and calling it a Cut Lip.
