Salty Dog Cocktail

225 Magazine

6 oz. ice cubes

2 oz. vodka

1 oz. triple sec

4 oz. grapefruit juice

Squeeze of fresh lime

Kosher salt and grapefruit slices for garnish

This is the recipe that polished off our bottle of South Dakota vodka.


Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pour in the vodka, triple sec and grapefruit juice and shake well.

Wet the rim of a cocktail glass and dip it into kosher salt.

Pour the contents from the cocktail shaker into the prepared glass and squeeze in the lime juice.

Pretty and peppy!


Serve with a slice of grapefruit for garnish and enjoy.

It's like it's wearing a little tutu!

My Rating: 4/5 "I honestly didn't think that a cocktail made with grapefruit juice would be especially tasty. But my low expectations were definitely exceeded! It's a tropical-ish drink, but not an overwhelmingly sweet one. It's just calming and pleasant, and the salt grounds everything well. Try it!"
