Super Simple Salty Dog Spritzer

June 19, 2019 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Stir things up this season with my refreshing Salty Dog Spritzer! This thirst-quenching cocktail comes together with just four simple ingredients. Cheers to that!

Salty Dog

I absolutely swoon over the combination of iconic gin and tangy grapefruit.

I’m a firm believer that the acidity in citrus pairs flawlessly with the natural flavors of this specific liquor. It’s a combo that’s oh-so-easy-peasy to make and oh-so-delicious to drink. Trust me, this Salty Dog Spritzer is going to be your go-to summer beverage.

THE BASICS FOR A SALTY DOG SPRITZER: 

This mouth-watering cocktail comes together with Brizo Craft Spiked Seltzer, aromatic gin, and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Add a little salt or sugar to the rim and you’re ready to start sippin’!

  • The main difference between a classic Salty Dog Cocktail and a Salty Dog Spritzer is Brizo Craft Spiked Seltzer. Brizo comes in three flavors and their grapefruit variety takes this cocktail to the next level.
  • Make sure to choose a good quality gin that you enjoy. Not a gin person? Not a problem. You can easily substitute vodka in this recipe and your cocktail will turn out  just as wonderful.
  • For the freshest flavor, juice your own grapefruit. It takes little manpower and makes a huge difference.

Step things up a notch by trying a sugar-salt-lime combo for the rim.

I love a traditional salted rim. I do, really. But sometimes I need to jazz my cocktails up a bit. You know, to keep things interesting. I’m a huge fan of salty-sweet anything. Try it the next time you make this glass of bubbles, it tastes fantastic!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 Tbsp. Salt
  • 1 Tbsp. Sugar
  • Zest of 1 Lime
  • Lime Pinwheels, optional garnish
