The Greyhound is one of the simplest classic cocktails, combining spirit and grapefruit juice. It has been around since at least the mid twentieth century and remains popular for its directness. Drinks like this rely entirely on ingredients.
Vodka or gin provides the base while grapefruit brings sharpness and bitterness. The balance is clean and uncomplicated. It is a drink that does not hide anything.
