Last spring I did a FULL ON cocktail week and while I haven’t had time to put together another one for this year, I do have a lot of cocktails in mind that I want to share. First up is this Frozen Strawberry Salty Dog! It’s similar to a greyhound but with a salt rimmed glass (YUM!).

You could leave the Strawberries out and make this as a simple cocktail (no blender needed) but I HIGHLY recommend giving the frozen version a try on the next HOT day. I promise that you won’t regret it!

Ingredients we’re working with:

Grapefruit juice: I truly like using freshly squeezed juice BUT store bought will work simply fine and is admittedly much easier:)
Fresh or frozen strawberries: at the time that I’m writing this, it’s PEAK strawberry season but in the off season, you can easily use frozen strawberries in this dish.
Vodka OR Gin: I’m pretty much always on team gin but truly either will work well in this cocktail.
Ice: for maximum slushiness
Salt for the rim: which is truly what makes this cocktail unique

Salty Dog v Greyhound

A salty dog and a greyhound are pretty much the same thing with the one exception that for this cocktail, we’re going to rim the glass with salt. Hence the SALTY dog.
