Beware of dog
While our dogs can be quite ornery, we’re looking at you Coltrane, it’s a Wednesday so we’re of course talking cocktails. This is a simple one. We used 100 percent juice. (It was on sale!) But fresh is always best. Of course it never hurts to have a backup in case your hand gets tired or your juicer breaks.
Salty Dogs
- 2 parts grapefruit juice
- 1 part gin
- sea salt
- lime
Put some ice in a glass and top with a pinch (Greg) or two or three (Katherine) of sea salt. We used this pink stuff we got for Christmas, fancy. Pour in gin and give it a swirl. Top with juice and garnish with lime.
I’m showing this one to my daughter.. she’ll get right on it for me:D
Nice idea summer drink. Your cocktail book appears to be bottomless.
Wonderful – bet it´s got a really lovely acid kick to it!
Lovely and refreshing.

Lime and seasslt are an amazing flavour combination, and then you add grapefruit juice? What’s not to love? So refreshing.
I just love the fact that you named your dog Coltrane
Great cocktail for beating the heat!
Cute name for a drink, I wonder what’s the origin…
Sounds perfect! I like the name as well!
Another awesome gin drink! Is it too early in the day to have one?
Gimme’ one of those and I’ll be a happy dog!
One of my all-time favorite drinks!
Another great cocktail. Love the name!
Not much of a gin drinker but can appreciate a good cocktail when I see one. Salt & grapefruit are a good match.
beware of the dog is right! WOW!
Oh, this is my kinda drink!
Oooh yes. I wonder how it would work with red grapefruit juice?
Probably even better!
Sounds good – especially after chasing the kids all day.
Simple and perfect for hot, hot summer.
This dog has healthy kick to it.
Very nice! Can’t wait to try it.
I think I’d go for two or three pinches of salt too.
I’ve been on a gin & tonic kick lately so this is right up my alley
We’ve been on a gin kick too. Remember this one? http://rufusguide.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/cool-as-a-cucumber/
indeed! Right after commenting I went to make myself one and discovered my husband bought DIET tonic water. Grumbles.
What is that even? ha.
I’ve taught him NOTHING, apparently
