Garnish with a wedge of grapefruit and serve. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.Pour the gin and juice into a mixing glass.It’s a nice change of pace and just as refreshing as the Gin Fizz or Gin Rickey. Its refreshing and flavorful, making it a perfect drink for. So, if you’re low on lemons and limes, give the Greyhound a try. The Greyhound Cocktail is a popular drink made with vodka, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. But as the years progressed the gin was replaced with vodka and club soda was occasionally added. Although the origin of the Greyhound is a little hazy, I know it’s been around since the 30’s and was traditionally made with gin and no club soda. Lemons, limes and oranges may be the typical choices for gin cocktails, but there are a couple classics that call for grapefruit: the Salty Dog and the Greyhound. As it turns out, I’m not the only one who thinks so. They’re great in fruit salads, on fish or all by themselves and since they’re so delicious, I knew they’d be great with alcohol. So, it is related to the breed of dog, in that the Greyhound Bus Line's namesake is a greyhound. This cocktail was served at Greyhound's popular restaurant chain that was located at bus terminals, called 'Post House'. I love grapefruit, especially the Ruby Reds. The cocktails were made of vodka, sugar, and canned grapefruit juice - a greyhound. Luckily, Melissa’s Produce gave me some Ruby Red Grapefruit recently. While I love my cocktails with plenty of citrus juice, I was running low on lemons and limes.

I mean a gin and soda is great, but a gin, soda and lemon or lime juice is so much better. It’s those juices that make each one of these drinks stand out. Fix the lid in place and shake vigoriously. Add ice to the shaker, pour the grapefruit juice over the ice. Add the vodka in and use the muddler to stir, dissolving the honey into the vodka. While all these drinks have club soda and ice, they also have sweet, juicy mixers. Muddle the honey and sage together in a cocktail shaker. There are several drinks that fit this bill: the Gin Rickey, the Mojito, and the Tom Collins just to name a few. Top with a splash of lime seltzer and garnish with edible. It could be gin, vodka or any other liquor for which I might have a craving. Add the vodka, grapefruit juice, Aperol and lemon juice to a shaker.

After that, I really don’t care what’s poured into the shaker. When the weather gets warm, all I want are fizzy cocktails that have two things: a lot of ice and plenty of club soda.
