History & Origins

The Salty Dog's origins are disputed, with some accounts placing its creation in the 1950s and attributing it to American beach bars where grapefruit juice was a popular mixer. The name is a maritime slang term for an experienced sailor, fitting the drink's refreshing, sea-breezy character. It became an IBA-adjacent classic and is widely served as a lower-key alternative to the Greyhound.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh grapefruit juice with juniper and botanical notes from the gin, sharpened by a saline edge. Palate: Bitter and tart grapefruit dominates, with gin's herbaceous character adding complexity; the salt accentuates sweetness and cuts bitterness in an unexpected but effective way. Finish: Dry, slightly bitter, and refreshing with a lingering grapefruit pith note.

Pro Tip

Rim only half the glass with salt so drinkers can choose their preferred level of salinity with each sip.
