PERRO SALADO (TEQUILA SALTY DOG)
Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. This is a Tex-Mex version of the salty dog. If you have access to a sweet Texas red grapefruit, like Ruby-Sweets or Rio Stars, then it's recommended you use it in this recipe. From a special edition of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex Cooking. I ordered this at a restaurant once. If you're in the mood, you can double the tequila (hehe).

SALTY DOG WITHOUT THE BITE
A non alcoholic version of the salty dog usually containing vodka or gin. "Mansfield News Journal," 18th July 1952 "George [Jessel], was fortifying himself against Republicans with a strange potion out of a champagne glass. He let me have a taste, and after bystanders had turned the fire extinguishers on me and successfully resorted to resuscitation, he explained, that this drink was a Salty Dog." "It is a little something of my own invention," he said, "Just half fresh grapefruit juice, half vodka and a dash of salt, and you think any Democrat can win." Enjoy!

SALTY DOG
There are lots of variations of this drink, some use vodka and some use gin. Salty Dogs are a refreshingly tart and salty cocktail that are perfect for warm, sunny days. Historically, Salty Dogs were prepared without ice. But over time, it became more common to serve them chilled over ice cubes or crushed ice in a salt-rimmed...

Steps:
- 1. Run the grapefruit slice around the rim of an old-fashioned glass (or a rocks glass), to moisten the rim. Then dip rim of glass in coarse salt. Add crushed ice to glass, being careful not to shake any salt off the rim.
- 2. Add gin (or vodka) and grapefruit juice to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for several seconds, then pour over ice into salt-rimmed glass.
- 3. Garnish with grapefruit wedge, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh grapefruit juice. Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice is the best choice for this cocktail, as it will have the most flavor. If you don't have fresh grapefruit juice, you can use bottled or canned juice, but it won't be as good.
- Chill your ingredients. Chilling your ingredients before making the cocktail will help it to be more refreshing. You can chill the grapefruit juice, vodka, and salt in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before mixing.
- Use a good quality vodka. The vodka you use will make a big difference in the taste of your cocktail. Choose a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
- Don't over-salt the rim of the glass. A little bit of salt goes a long way, so be careful not to over-do it. You can always add more salt if you need it, but it's hard to take it away.
- Garnish with a grapefruit twist. A grapefruit twist is the perfect garnish for a Salty Dog. It adds a pop of color and flavor to the cocktail.
Conclusion:
The Salty Dog is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, refreshing, and delicious. If you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Salty Dog a try. You won't be disappointed.
