Salty Dog
A minimalist yet refined highball classic - the crisp chill of vodka and the bittersweet lift of grapefruit juice, finished with a rim of sea salt. The salt amplifies the grapefruit's fruitiness and rounds off its bitterness, while plenty of ice keeps it a refreshing choice for a summer afternoon.
