Cocktail Description
The Salty Dog delivers an exhilarating dance between bright citrus, subtle sweetness, and savory salt that awakens every corner of your palate.
This elegant cocktail combines the clean foundation of Ketel One Vodka with the rich, subtle cherry notes of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, while fresh pink grapefruit juice provides a vibrant tartness and stunning blush color. The salt rim creates a perfect counterpoint to the cocktail's acidity, bringing all the flavors into sharp focus with each sip. Surprisingly simple to make at home, it requires just a proper shake with ice, a steady hand for rimming, and quality ingredients. The Salty Dog shines as an aperitif at sophisticated dinner parties or as a refreshing summer happy hour option when you want something more interesting than a standard cocktail. Pair it with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or ceviche, where the citrus notes complement the food without overwhelming it, or serve alongside light appetizers like goat cheese crostini.
