A Salty Dog

On the rim of the glass, there is salt all around. This makes the drink different from a “greyhound”. Take either gin or vodka mixed with grapefruit juice. These ingredients can be put to good use. It was named for any sailor experienced with the sea. The drink maintains great popularity. Has anybody replaced the gin or vodka with tequila? In that way, we could call this drink a “grapefruit margarita”.
