Ready for another summer cocktail? Ta-da, the Salty Dog. The Salty Dog is actually a very basic cocktail but it goes down so easy in the summer heat, great for evenings in the sun (or mornings if you're a brunch person). Essentially a twist on the Greyhound the Salty Dog is gin or vodka, grapefruit, salt, and a salted rim. My taste buds get worn out after a few Greyhounds but I find that the salt in the Salty Dog really helps to balance the bitterness of the grapefruit. I also have to recommend doing a sugar and salt rim, I tried it last week and it was insanely good. Try the Salty Dog for yourself and let me know what you think!
The Salty Dog
- 2 oz gin

My Tips
