Salty dog (cocktail)
A salty dog is a cocktail of gin and grapefruit juice, served in a highball glass with a salted rim. The salt is the only difference between a salty dog and a greyhound. Historically a gin drink, it is believed to date back to the 1920s. The drink is 2 fluid ounces of gin mixed with fresh grapefruit juice, shaken, and poured into a glass whose rim has been salted.
In popular culture
The salty dog is a favorite drink of Artie (the producer played by Rip Torn) on the sitcom The Larry Sanders Show. Artie made it with vodka.
