Salty Dog

This is a citrusy cocktail inspired by a Paloma and Margarita but using vodka instead. It’s a simple mix of fresh grapefruit and lime juice which brings out the flavours in the vodka, balanced with some simple syrup and garnished with fresh grapefruit and a salt rim, which gives you that salty and sour taste, that’s very Margarita!

• Juice of 1 lime
• Juice of half a pink grapefruit,
• 30ml simple syrup
