History & Origin

The Salty Dog originated as a gin-based cocktail but became more popular with vodka by the 1960s. The signature salted rim distinguishes it from the Greyhound. The punch version offers the same tart grapefruit profile with optional salt-rimmed glasses for guests who prefer the classic presentation.
