for your next cocktail hour ... and what we're eating

By Thursday, March 21, 2013


If you know me, you know I am a wine girl ... except when I want a cocktail. Ha! This time of year I crave citrus in both solid and liquid form, so my cocktail of choice during these bleak winter months is the beautiful pink-grapefruit hued greyhound. Pink grapefruit juice out of the carton will do, but freshly squeezing those gorgeous orbs elevates this to perfection. Salt the rim if you'd like for a Salty Dog. I'm salty enough already, so I go without (wink).

The Perfect Greyhound*

Ingredients
2 oz. premium vodka
4-6 oz. freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
a wedge of lime for garnish

Directions
In a double old-fashioned glass, fill with ice cubes; pour vodka, then grapefruit juice. Stir. Garnish or leave plain, it's up to you.

Enjoy with crisp potato chips during cocktail hour or with a pile of pork carnitas tacos at dinner. Yum.

*especially when it's made by the handsome Mr. Klein

    Sarah! The greyhound is my go-to brunch bev. Also delish when you add a splash of club soda. Hope you're well! xo
