A salty dog is a cocktail of gin, or vodka, and grapefruit juice, served in a highball glass with a salted rim. The salt is the only difference between a salty dog and a greyhound. Historically a gin drink, it is believed to date back to the 1920s.^[1]

The drink is 1 fluid ounce of gin mixed with fresh grapefruit juice, stirred, and poured into a glass whose rim has been salted. ^[2]

It was a favorite drink of Artie, the producer played by Rip Torn, on the sitcom The Larry Sanders Show.^[3]^[4]
