Greyhound Cocktail

The Greyhound cocktail is a crisp and effortless classic. Combining gin or vodka with fresh grapefruit juice, it creates a delightfully tart, dry, and invigorating concoction. Built or shaken over ice and served directly in a glass, the result is a clean and citrus-forward beverage with a vibrant taste profile. Garnished with a fresh grapefruit wheel or a sprig of rosemary, the Greyhound is a timeless choice for those who appreciate a simple, low-effort cocktail experience.
