How to Make a Greyhound Cocktail – Prohibition Era Cocktails
Gin was the Greyhound’s original choice during Prohibition. When vodka caught the attention of American drinkers after World War II it quickly replaced gin. Both spirits are excellent choices and the simple two-ingredient cocktail provides a great base for experimentation: sweeten it add soda or other fruit pour in an infused vodka or give it a salty dog rim. Although it’s most often served high over ice many drinkers also enjoy it in a cocktail glass.
The simplicity and versatility ensure that you will never get bored with this grapefruit cocktail. It is an ideal choice for any occasion from brunch to happy hour and cocktail parties to a casual night in.
