Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces grapefruit juice
- 4 ounces sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water, mixed)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 pieces ice cubes
- 1 piece grapefruit wedge
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt (for rimming the glass)

Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes.
In a separate shaker or mixing glass, combine the grapefruit juice, sparkling water, and honey syrup. Stir gently to mix.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey syrup if desired.
Pour the mixture over the ice in the prepared glass.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for an added salty punch.
Garnish with the remaining grapefruit wedge on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Salty Dog Without the Bite'.
