A classic Greyhound Cocktail is just vodka (or gin) and grapefruit juice, and it's just as fruity and refreshing as it sounds. Add a salted rim and you'll have a "Salty Dog."
Fill a rocks glass with ice, then add vodka and grapefruit juice. Using a bar spoon, stir gently. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
Vodka: Greyhound cocktails were originally made with gin, but as vodka overtook it in popularity, vodka became the popular choice for Greyhounds and other cocktails.
Yield: This recipe makes 1 cocktail.
Glassware: A Greyhound is traditionally made in an Old Fashioned glass, a 6-ounce to 10-ounce glass tumbler similar to a rocks glass or lowball glass.
