Crisp, citrusy, and just a little salty, this classic cocktail is the kind of drink that feels effortless and elevated all at once.
The Salty Dog is a vodka-and-grapefruit refresher with a salted rim that cuts through the tartness and amps up the sophistication.
Whether you’re poolside, brunching, or just vibing on a hot afternoon, this cocktail hits all the right notes. It’s zesty, salty, and dangerously easy to sip.
