The Greyhound Punch scales the classic Greyhound — vodka and grapefruit juice, a combination that appeared in print by at least 1930 in a gin version before becoming standard with vodka during the 1950s and 1960s — into large-format punch service for brunches, garden parties, and casual outdoor entertaining. The Greyhound's simplicity and bright, tart profile make it one of the most scalable cocktails in the canon: grapefruit juice's natural bitterness requires no additional sweetener, keeping the punch refreshing rather than cloying even in large quantities. A salted rim option on individual glasses invites guests to create their own Salty Dog variation, adding interactive customization to the serving format.
