Greyhound Instructions
Are you in the mood for a refreshing and simple cocktail that will quench your thirst? Look no further than the Greyhound. This classic cocktail is made with just two ingredients - vodka and grapefruit juice - making it the perfect drink for a hot summer day or a cozy night in.
The Greyhound gets its name from the breed of dog that is known for its speed and agility. Just like its namesake, this cocktail is quick and easy to make. All you need is a highball glass, some ice, vodka, and grapefruit juice.
To make a Greyhound, start by filling a highball glass with ice. Pour in 1.5 ounces of vodka, followed by 4 ounces of grapefruit juice. Give it a gentle stir to mix the ingredients together. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup or a sugar rim to the glass.
Once your Greyhound is mixed and ready to go, garnish it with a slice of fresh grapefruit or a twist of grapefruit peel. This adds a nice touch of citrus flavor and makes the drink look even more appealing. Then, sit back, relax, and enjoy your Greyhound.
The Greyhound is a versatile cocktail that can easily be customized to your taste. If you prefer a stronger drink, you can add more vodka. If you like a sweeter cocktail, try using pink grapefruit juice instead of the regular variety. You can also experiment with different garnishes, such as a sprig of mint or a wedge of lime.
So, whether you're hosting a cocktail party or just want to unwind after a long day, give the Greyhound a try. With its simple ingredients and refreshing taste, it's sure to become one of your go-to cocktails.
Best served in a Highball Glass.

Greyhound is a classic cocktail that is simple to make and refreshing to drink. It consists of just two main ingredients: vodka and grapefruit juice. The origins of the Greyhound cocktail are somewhat murky, but it is believed to have been created in the 1930s or 1940s.
To make a Greyhound, you will need:
- 2 oz vodka
- 4 oz grapefruit juice
Fill a highball glass with ice, add the vodka and grapefruit juice, and stir gently to combine. You can garnish the drink with a wedge of lime or grapefruit for an extra touch of flavor.
The Greyhound is often confused with another popular cocktail called the Salty Dog, which adds a salted rim to the glass for an extra kick. While both drinks are similar in composition, they offer slightly different flavor profiles due to this added element.
