Greyhound

A tart, classic highball.

This highball standard is as simple as they come, with just two ingredients—grapefruit juice and vodka—served over ice and stirred. The easy template makes a solid base for a host of variations: add a salted rim for the Salty Dog, swap gin for vodka for a more herbaceous spin or pour a splash of vermouth or amaro, such as Punt e Mes or Campari for the Italian Greyhound.
