SALTY DOG
The Salty Dog is a riff on another classic – the Greyhound. It is still simple, and despite very similar, still manages to give a different feel to the drink.
The main, or I should say the onlydifference between both drinks is, that the Salty Dog’s includes a salty rim on the edge of the glass. This does not sound like much, but in a sence intensifies the flavours.
For both drinks either vodka or gin can be used as the main spirit. I chose to, use vodka this time, but go based on your preference and what it is available to you.
The Salty Dog is believed to be created in the 1950s, possibly by George Jessel in an attempt to reduce the bitterness and tartness of the grapefruit. Since some recipes call for white grapefruit juice, that makes total sense. Personally, I tend to use Pink grapefruit juice – I prefer it’s sweetness and milder flavor.
Using fresh grapefruit juice delivers without a doubt a better and more flavorful drink, but if you can get only store-bought juice, that will do the trick as well. Just try to get a juice without added sugar and not from concentrate.

INGREDIENTS:
45 ml (1,5 oz) Vodka
90 ml (3 oz) Grapefruit juice
Salt (For rimming the glass)

PREPARATION:
Take a highball glass and moist the rim with a citrus wedge. Rim the glass with salt and once done, fill it with ice.
Pour the vodka and top it up with grapefruit juice. Stir to mix and enjoy.
Cheers!
