2 oz vodka
4 oz grapefruit juice
The GREYHOUND is
one of my favorites. It’s always been my “go to” cocktail. Before this year, it
was my usual order to start out a night; when I had a cold; when I was on a
diet; or when I couldn’t think of anything else. Most bartenders didn’t know
what a GREYHOUND was, and I had to just say grapefruit and vodka.
The GREYHOUND was
my go to cocktail tonight too, after a busy day that included hanging out at
the local news station, working a phonebank in the background for my job. I
love how the news anchors are only dressed up from the waist up and how the
whole news crew really flys by the seat of their pants — finding out what they
are going to talk about minutes beforehand. After that craziness, I needed my
comforting GREYHOUND. It couldn’t have been easier to make either. Add vodka
and grapefruit juice to a tall cocktail glass filled with ice. Stir and enjoy.
The GREYHOUND is a
simple and beautiful cocktail. It’s pretty, delicious and can be sipped
morning, noon, or night. Since vodka is practically tasteless, it’s really just
spiked grapefruit juice, which is another reason it’s beautiful — it’s healthy!
It would be ideal for a summertime brunch or a Mother’s Day breakfast in bed.
Hint, hint, hubby.
