The Pink Hound
The Pink Hound - a tasty riff on the classic Greyhound
The Occasion: We have FINALLY made it to the weekend. Time for drinks on the deck. Or perhaps a brunch cocktail? The grapefruit juice says YES!

Why This Works: The classic cocktail - greyhound – features gin and grapefruit juice. Yum. This recipe kicks it up a few notches with freshly squeezed pink grapefruit and lemon juices AND an herbal garnish. 
The Playlist: Tunes relating to Pink, to Greyhounds (but not the bus), and to Happy Hour. Enjoy!

​The Verdict: Really good. This is not a wacky ‘look at me’ drink, just a classic cocktail elevated by a few upgrades – freshly squeezed juices, herbal notes. 

It goes down very easily so be careful – and be happy!

The Pink Hound
Recipe by Ilise Goldberg, riffing off the classic Greyhound cocktail

Makes one cocktail

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 ounces gin (such as Tanqueray)
  • 2 ½ ounces freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
  • ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice – ideally Meyer lemons but regular lemons are fine
  • ¼ ounce simple syrup – See note below
  • Sprig of rosemary for garnish (optional)
  • Slice of grapefruit for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
  • Put ice in a shaker. Add all liquid ingredients and shake well. 
  • Pour strained drink into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and/or a slice of grapefruit. 
  • If you prefer, the cocktail may be served on the rocks.

​Simple Syrup:
To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a pan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid looks clear. Cool before using.
