Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Gin
- 4 ounces Grapefruit juice
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Grapefruit wedge (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the glass. Pour the coarse sea salt onto a small plate.
Run the edge of a grapefruit wedge around the rim of a highball glass to moisten it.
Dip the rim of the glass into the sea salt, giving it a slight twist to ensure the rim is evenly coated.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough space for the liquid ingredients.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin and grapefruit juice.
Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
If desired, garnish with a fresh wedge of grapefruit on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Salty Dog!
