The other day, while I was at one of my favorite bars — Cantina — I had a delicious and refreshing drink made with fresh grapefruit juice. A variation on the classic caipirinha, the cocktail was on the menu for that night only. I wanted to run home and re-create the delightful concoction, but I couldn't remember the list of ingredients. Since the grapefruit juice is what stood out the most, I settled on making a greyhound.
The close cousin of a screwdriver, a greyhound is a sublime blend of vodka and fresh grapefruit juice. To enjoy this cocktail now — grapefruits are in season — get the recipe and read more.

1oh me too. must try.
2I'll pretty much drink any vodka cocktail! I bet this is great.
3I love this drink - Houston's makes a great one w/freshly squeezed juice!! And as one of my good friends says, "one of the benefits to drinking Greyhounds is it will keep us from getting scurvy ;)"
4A couple of these and I will be wagging my tail. Especially if I "woof" them down.
5Oh chief that was bad!!!
but, I have to agree this sounds delicious!
6this is my favorite drink, but it's only good with fresh juice. Most places use the canned stuff.
7greyhound, awwww
8Sounds really yummy... I love grapefruits and I love vodka. What more could I ask for?!?
9I'd love to try this.
10I always thought this was called a Salty Dog, maybe it's the same plus a bit of salt? Either way, very nice on a hot summer night!
11My friends and I used to call this drink "jungle juice." It's nice to know the real name!
