Salty Dog

Salty Dog
This is another cocktail that has changed since its invention. When it first appeared, gin-based cocktails were by far the most popular, but nowadays, a Salty Dog is more frequently made with vodka. You can use either spirit, but the cocktails will have different flavours.

1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp coarse salt
lime wedge 6-8 cracked ice cubes
2 measures vodka grapefruit juice, to top up

Mix the sugar and salt in a saucer. Rub the rim of a chilled Collins glass with the lime wedge, then dip it in the sugar and salt mixture to frost. Fill the glass with cracked ice cubes and pour the vodka over them. Top up with grapefruit juice and stir to mix. Serve with a straw.
