"Salty Dog Cocktail Recipe" Art Print for Sale by HuckleberryArts
The Salty Dog was created as a variation of the Greyhound cocktail. George Jessel added a salt rim to the popular combination of gin and grapefruit juice sometime in the 1950s, as a way to increase the palatability of the drink for those who were less than fond of the bitter grapefruit taste. The Salty Dog became more popular than the Greyhound, but it does mean that the histories of both drinks are intertwined, since the creator of the Greyhound had a hand in the fortunes of the Salty Dog.
