Head to head
Rum Collins and Salty Dog side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Rum Collins has sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, white rum and soda water, the Salty Dog vodka, grapefruit juice and salt. In parts, a Rum Collins is ¾ lemon, ¼ lime, ¾ rum and 1 soda; a Salty Dog is 1 vodka and 2¾ grapefruit. By volume, the Rum Collins is 35% mixer and juice, 35% citrus, 26% spirit and 4% syrup and sugar; the Salty Dog is 73% citrus and 27% spirit. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (10.1% and 9.9% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (1.01 standard drinks each). The Salty Dog has more calories (about 148 against 129) and more sugar (11.4 g against 5.4 g). Both are built and served in a highball.
