Greyhound Cocktail
The Greyhound cocktail is a deceptively basic yet deeply flavourful beverage known for its simplistic taste. At its core, it is a combination of just two ingredients and traditionally a ‘built’ drink, meaning that the components are put directly into a serving glass over ice and before being swirled carefully.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Pink or ruby red grapefruit has a sweeter, less acidic flavour profile than white grapefruit; choose according to your choice for sweetness or tartness.
Serving Tip 1
Preparing a salt rim on the glass before pouring adds a distinctive spin to the classic since it wonderfully balances and enhances the grapefruit’s natural tartness.
