About This Cocktail

The Salty Dog is a refreshing cocktail made with vodka (or sometimes gin), grapefruit juice, and a salted rim. The salt on the rim adds a savory contrast to the tartness of the grapefruit juice, creating a balance of flavors. To make it, you typically rub a lime or grapefruit wedge around the rim of a glass, dip it in salt, and then fill the glass with a mixture of vodka and grapefruit juice, served over ice. It's a simple yet tangy drink, perfect for a hot day or as a unique twist on a classic cocktail.
