The Salty Dog

I'm bringing this project back to the book and finally getting around to the first drink from the book I ever had, albeit a year or so before I read it.


The Salty Dog
Gin
Grapefruit Juice
Salt

The biggest distinguishing feature of this drink from the other two is the salted rim of the glass, which gives the drink its name. The salt is also the key to the greatness of this drink. The mix of gin and grapefruit juice is sort of a bitter thirst quencher, but add the salt and you get a complex mix of flavors which is amazing for a drink with just two ingredients.
