Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Moisten the rim of a highball glass with a grapefruit wedge and dip it in salt.
  2. Fill the 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 Salty Dog

Essentially a Greyhound with a salted rim. The salt tames the grapefruit's bitterness and makes the juice taste brighter and sweeter.

Missing something?

  • No Vodka? Use Citrus Vodka (Adds a lemon note)
  • No Grapefruit Juice? Use Grapefruit (Squeeze fresh: 1 grapefruit gives about 150 ml)
