This Easy Greyhound Recipe Will Elevate Your Next Brunch Date

As the weather warms and the sun beckons, there are few things as sublime as enjoying a leisurely brunch outdoors. Enter the Greyhound cocktail—a refreshing blend of citrus and spirit that effortlessly elevates your mid-morning rendezvous. This easy-to-make libation brings a touch of sophistication to your brunch table, perfectly complementing the laid-back vibes of a sunny morning. Made equally well with either vodka or gin, the latter of which is similar to the French Blonde, recently popularized as Taylor Swift's cocktail of choice.

Greyhound Ingredients

• 2 oz Vodka or Gin
• 3 oz Pink Grapefruit Juice
• Lime Wedge For Garnish
• Ice

How To Make A Greyhound

1. Fill a rocks glass with ice.
2. Pour in gin or vodka and top with grapefruit juice.
3. Stir gently to combine.
4. Garnish with a lime wedge.

For a twist on the classic Greyhound, try lightly charring the lime wedge before garnishing. This simple technique adds a subtle smoky flavor that complements the bright citrus notes of the cocktail, elevating your brunch experience to new heights.

Greyhound Martini Riff

For a sophisticated spin on the traditional Greyhound, try crafting a Greyhound Martini by substituting the rocks glass for a chilled martini glass. Simply combine gin or vodka with fresh grapefruit juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, then strain into the martini glass for a sleek and stylish presentation.
