Absolut Salty Dog Instructions
The Absolut Salty Dog is a classic cocktail that is perfect for those hot summer days when you want something refreshing and tangy.
This cocktail is a variation of the Greyhound, another popular grapefruit-based cocktail. The main difference is that the Absolut Salty Dog adds a salted rim to give it a unique twist.
To make the Absolut Salty Dog, you will need a few simple ingredients including Absolut vodka, fresh grapefruit juice, and salt for the rim. Start by preparing your glass - you can use a highball glass or a rocks glass, depending on your preference. Run a wedge of grapefruit around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to create the salted rim.
Next, fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour in 2 ounces of Absolut vodka, followed by 4 ounces of fresh grapefruit juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Finally, garnish your Absolut Salty Dog with a grapefruit wedge or a twist of grapefruit peel. This will add a burst of citrus aroma to your cocktail.
The Absolut Salty Dog is best enjoyed cold, so make sure to chill your ingredients and glassware before preparing the cocktail. The salted rim adds a nice contrast to the tangy grapefruit flavor, making it a refreshing and satisfying drink.
Whether you are hosting a summer party or simply want to enjoy a delicious cocktail on a hot day, the Absolut Salty Dog is a fantastic choice. Its simple ingredients and easy preparation make it a go-to cocktail for any occasion.
So, next time you are in the mood for a tangy and refreshing cocktail, give the Absolut Salty Dog a try. You won't be disappointed!
