The Salty Dog cocktail is a refreshing and simple drink that has become a popular choice for those looking to cool off on a hot day. This classic cocktail originated in New Orleans, where it was first created by bartenders at the famous Carousel Bar.
The origins of the Salty Dog can be traced back to the 1950s when it was introduced as a variation of another popular drink, the Greyhound. The Greyhound is made with vodka and grapefruit juice, while the Salty Dog adds an extra kick with the addition of salt around the rim of the glass.
To make a traditional New Orleans Salty Dog cocktail, you will need just three ingredients: vodka, grapefruit juice, and salt. Start by moistening the rim of your glass with a slice of grapefruit or water before dipping it into coarse salt to create that signature salty finish. Next, fill your glass with ice and add one part vodka to two parts fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Give it all a good stir and garnish with a wedge of grapefruit for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
This easy-to-make cocktail is perfect for sipping on during lazy summer afternoons or enjoying at happy hour with friends. Its tangy yet slightly sweet flavor profile makes it both refreshing and satisfying – ideal for any occasion.
