Sunny Salty Dog

The "Sunny Salty Dog" cocktail is a delightful and tangy beverage that offers a harmonious blend of sweet and salty flavors. Legend has it that the Salty Dog was born in 1930, when Harry Craddock introduced a simple cocktail featuring gin, grapefruit, and ice. The addition of a salted rim distinguishes this drink from its predecessor, the Greyhound, and contributes to its distinctive character.
