In November 2023, I’m participating in the “30-Day COMBO Coach4aday Challenge“. Participants will combine or pair two food or drink items. Today my combination is GRAPEFRUIT and GIN.

November 7th Combo of the Day-Grapefruit and Gin

This combination is going to be placed in the alcoholic beverage category. It is often called a Greyhound.

For this classic cocktail, simply pour two ounces of gin into a cocktail glass, and top with grapefruit juice to taste. Full disclaimer some people prefer the drink to be made with vodka. IF you add a third ingredient a salted rim to the top of the glass it is referred to as a Salty Dog.

The Greyhound cocktail is appealing to many people for several reasons including a former Director of Athletics colleague Jeff May:

Simplicity: The Greyhound is a simple cocktail with just two main ingredients: vodka or gin and grapefruit juice. Its uncomplicated nature makes it easy to prepare and enjoy, which can be particularly appealing for those who prefer straightforward and refreshing drinks.

Refreshing Flavor: The Greyhound is known for its refreshing, tart, and slightly sweet flavor, making it a great choice for a thirst-quenching and revitalizing drink, especially on a hot day.
