Vodka Greyhound

A Greyhound is the kind of drink that makes a half-full carton of grapefruit juice feel intentional: vodka, grapefruit, ice, and a quick stir.

For this pantry version, use 2 oz vodka and 4 oz ruby-red grapefruit juice over ice; stir in simple syrup 1/4 oz at a time only if the juice tastes too tart. 1

Good Food also treats the Greyhound as a simple tall-glass build with gin or vodka, grapefruit juice, ice, and a grapefruit or lime garnish. 2

Pantry note: bottled grapefruit juice works when fresh grapefruit is not around; fresh juice just brings a sharper citrus edge. 1
