PERRO SALADO (TEQUILA SALTY DOG)



Perro Salado (Tequila Salty Dog) image

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



Salty Dog Without the Bite image

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



Salty Dog image

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...

Categories     Cocktails

Time 1m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 oz gin (or vodka)
3 to 4 oz grapefruit juice
4 tsp coarse salt (for rim)
1 wedge fresh grapefruit (for garnish)
crushed ice

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:

  • Choose the right grapefruit. A good grapefruit for a Salty Dog should be ripe, juicy, and slightly tart. Avoid grapefruits that are too sour or bitter.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice will give your Salty Dog a bright, citrusy flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice, which can be bland and artificial.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different gins. There are many different gins available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Try a few different gins to see which one you like best in your Salty Dog.
  • Garnish your Salty Dog with a grapefruit wedge and a lime wedge. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.

Conclusion:

The Salty Dog is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. It's the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day or a warm winter evening. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful cocktail, give the Salty Dog a try. You won't be disappointed.
