Strawberry Grapefruit Salty Dog — You can make the sweet and sour lovers all very happy with this Strawberry Grapefruit Salty Dog co*cktail recipe!
Though I’m usually all about the sweet side of things when it comes to recipes, I’m actually a big tart fan when it comes to drinks. (I have convinced myself it makes me sip them a lot slower).
I’ve even gottenon a major spicy kick lately. (Hello jalapeño and sriracha everything!)
But since Texas weather brings enough heat on its own, I figured sticking with tart yet refreshing would be a good idea for this weekend’s festivities.
Alas, I introduce you to this cute little Strawberry Grapefruit Salty Dog co*cktail recipethat we whipped up with Hangar 1Vodka. (Jared is obsessed with the bottle).

What Is A Salty Dog?
A salty dog co*cktail is a drink made of gin or vodka and grapefruit juice. It’s the perfect combo of tart and salty.
I added strawberries to the mix. The good thing about this salty dog recipe is for those of you that like a teeny bit of sour (but not too much), you can just add more strawberry to the mix to sweeten things up.
And vice versa for the sour lovers. Just use less strawberry puree.
Plus, this recipe is a nice tie in with summer and local farm fresh fruits. Fair warning though, these are super easy to drink!

How To Make Strawberry Puree?
This salty dog co*cktail recipe calls for strawberry puree which you can purchase at the grocery store. However, it’s so easy to make!
Just blend washed strawberries into a food processor or blenderuntil it’s in liquid form but still has pulp.
Depending on your preference, you can sweeten your strawberry puree with sugar or honey.
