From the Bartender

The Greyhound becomes a Salty Dog with the simple addition of a salted rim - a small tweak that rounds out the grapefruit's bitterness and adds a savory dimension worth trying. Always use fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice; bottled juice lacks the aromatic oils and brightness that make this drink sing.
