Salty Dog
Oh! SALTy Dog, I see what you did there. Cute.
Well now, well now. This one was pretty good. It came in two varieties, one with Vodka and the other with Gin, since I didn’t detest the thing, I tried both. Read on to see what my thoughts were.
- 1 1/4 shot Gin/Vodka
- Grapefruit juice
- Margarita salt around the rim
As I said, I was quite pleased with this selection. Granted, it wasn’t much, and the Vodka variation was pretty much like drinking plain ol’ grapefruit juice. Since there was another option, I gave the Gin version a try. What came back was an interesting mix of the Gin taste and grapefruit juice that I still can’t quite describe. Gin was definitely my favorite of the two because it actually added something to the drink. The salt on the rim was up for discussion. Some of my fellow patrons disliked the salt because of its difference in taste. I didn’t mind either way, however, I think I preferred it with the salt.

I wasn’t a fan. Maybe if the salt stayed on the rim, it’d be ok, but there was a lot of salt that fell in the drink. I do think the drink lives up to its name. It is how I imagine licking a dogs face would taste like. Not good.
