Greyhound Drink- Grapefruit Vodka Cocktail


Enjoy this refreshing, easy grapefruit cocktail any time of the year.

The hound dog drink may be a cocktail that is been around since a minimum of the 1930's. It's sometimes simply an easy fruit crush and spirits combination. It's citrus season, and that i am adoring the grapefruit, particularly the attractive tart sweet pink ones. once I had the concept for this cocktail, I had no concept that it had a reputation. A hound dog drink? i am not okay versed in cocktails. I solely knew that I needed fruit crush to be in one.

It seemsconsistent with my analysis, that there's a reason for the name. At hound dog bus depot restaurants (yes, that Greyhound) you'll order a drink created of canned fruit crush, sugar, and vodka. The drink became referred to as a hound dog drink. WHO knew? And here i used to be curious regarding the affiliation between a quick running canine and a grapefruit drink.

anned fruit crush doesn't acquire play during this refreshing, bubbly, citrus y grapefruit spirits cocktail. I created a virgin, likewise as associate alcohol primarily based version of this drink, and that they were each delicious. therefore you'll please teetotalers and youngsters with this drink, too. This drinkable is therefore improbably refreshing, that i needed it had been summer. Well, really, I just about continuously want it had been summer.
