Head to head
Greyhound and Salty Dog side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and grapefruit juice in both. The Salty Dog adds salt, which softens the grapefruit’s bitterness and brightens the fruit; in this recipe it also has a smaller pour of vodka.
By the numbers
Both have vodka and grapefruit juice. Only the Salty Dog has salt. In parts, a Greyhound is 1 vodka and 2 grapefruit; a Salty Dog is 1 vodka and 2¾ grapefruit. By volume, the Greyhound is 67% citrus and 33% spirit; the Salty Dog is 73% citrus and 27% spirit. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Greyhound is the stronger drink in the glass (12.1% ABV against 9.9%) and holds more alcohol (1.35 standard drinks against 1.01). The Greyhound has more calories (about 182 against 148), with the same sugar (11.4 g each). Both are built and served in a highball.
