DOW: Salty Dog

We have come to the realization that grapefruit is perfect for making cocktails. It has sweet, sour and bitterness all in one easy-to-store package.

This week, we make the Salty Dog.

• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• 5 oz grapefruit juice
• 1 teaspoon simple syrup (optional)

Stir ingredients and pour over cracked ice in a highball glass rimmed with kosher salt.
