Being from Colorado I can’t even begin to claim that I’m a Salty Dog. But, salty or not it’s hot today and I was looking for a cold refreshing cocktail to feature this week. In my search I stumbled across the Salty Dog and knew it was a perfect match. How can you go wrong with vodka and grapefruit juice on a hot day? Plus, the way I see it, I have to get ready for the even hotter days to come and what better way to do that with some solid drinking.

So… We’re down throwing rockets up into space.
Do you have a recommendation as a signatory drink?
We’re in White Sands Missile Range. We’re shooting a rocket called DICE. The targets are pi and delta Scorpius.
Thoughts?
Given your locale and the fact that it will be fairly hot down there the next couple days I’d say something tall and refreshing. Some suggestions:
Paloma – Seriously tasty
Tom Collins – My summer go to on a hot day. You can also sub rum or vodka if you prefer.
However, in honor of the rocket’s targets I’d say a Scorpion is in order. However, the problem there is it requires some juices and orgeat which may be hard to find (Fee Brother’s makes some that’s rumored to not suck).
