This Salty Dog Grapefruit co*cktail Recipe has become my go to co*cktail order – fresh, simpleand made with grapefruitjuiceand vodka.
A Sophisticated co*cktail
I’ve always wanted to be the kind of adult that has a “go to” co*cktail. The kind of drink you can order wherever you arewithout feeling like a kid that just turned 21 and is trying all the co*cktails.
In my mind I envision a scenario where I’m running late to meet my hubby for dinner and when I arrive (looking fabulous of course because this is a dream), he’s at the bar and says “I ordered you a drink” and the bartender delivers something sophisticated, like a whiskey neat or scotch &soda.
It’s taken me a long time to realize that neither of those are ever going to be “my” drink. I can’t even stand the smell of scotch. The closest I can get to whiskey is a whiskey sour, with extra cherries. Definitely doesn’t scream “sophisticated adult”.

The Salty Dog co*cktail
Enter the salty dog. Silly name, but delicious grapefruit co*cktail. It’s a far cry from my scotch on the rocks dream, but a major step up from my standard Coors Light order.
A Salty Dog is simply vodka and grapefruit juice on ice, with a salted rim. If you opt for no salt,the co*cktail then becomes a Greyhound.
Since grapefruit is currently in season, it makes the perfect spring co*cktail!
