This is a classic cocktail which is actually a variation of the Greyhound cocktail (simply gin or vodka with grapefruit juice), only with a Salty Dog, Margarita salt is added to the rim. The salt, however simple, completely changes the original Greyhound cocktail. The Greyhound cocktail actually dates back to the 1930's and this is a ever-so-slightly newer version to enjoy!
