Salty Dog Cocktail

Flaky sea salt

(1 1/2 ounces) gin

(3 ounces) fresh squeezed grapefruit juice

(1 dash) simple syrup

Lime wedge

For the garnish: Grapefruit wedge

Cut a notch in the lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt.

Place the gin, grapefruit juice and syrup in a cocktail shaker with 4 ice cubes and shake until cold.

Strain the drink into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and top with a squeeze of lime. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

The Salty Dog is a classic cocktail that combines the sharp, refreshing taste of grapefruit juice with the botanical notes of gin, presented in a highball glass with a distinctive salted rim which adds a savory contrast to each sip. Its simplicity relies on a well-balanced harmony between the bitterness and sweetness of the grapefruit and the complex flavors of the gin, creating a drink that is beloved for its bright and bracing character. The Salty Dog is closely related to the Greyhound cocktail; the main difference being the salted rim that transforms the Greyhound into the Salty Dog. Ideal for sipping on a warm day, the Salty Dog holds a special place in the canon of summertime drinks.
