How to make it
- Fill a highball glass with ice, add the vodka and grapefruit juice and stir.

Tip: Fill the glass right to the top with ice so the drink stays cold without watering down fast.
About the Greyhound
Started life as a gin and grapefruit 'Grapefruit Cocktail' in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. It was first called the Greyhound in a 1945 Harper's Magazine article, and vodka replaced gin after the Second World War.
