Instructions

Description: Embrace the bold flavors of the southwest with this innovative twist on the classic Salty Dog cocktail. The Desert Hound's Bite infuses the briny edge of a traditional Salty Dog with the robust spirit of tequila, complemented by an invigorating touch of spice. Perfect for sipping on a sultry evening, this cocktail promises a tantalizing balance between salty, sour, and spicy notes. Ingredients: - 2 oz Tequila (blanco or reposado for a more complex flavor) - 4 oz Fresh grapefruit juice - 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice - 1/4 oz Agave syrup (adjust to taste) - A pinch of chili powder or a small slice of fresh jalapeño (depending on preferred spice level) - Kosher salt or chili-lime salt for rimming the glass - Grapefruit wedge and a sprig of cilantro for garnish Glass: Highball glass Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing your highball glass. Run a grapefruit wedge around the rim to moisten it, then dip it into kosher salt or a chili-lime salt mixture to coat the edge. 2. In a shaker, combine the tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. If using chili powder, add it now, or if using a jalapeño slice, muddle it gently in the shaker before adding the liquids. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until the outside is frosty and the cocktail is well-chilled, about 15 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass filled with fresh ice. 5. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a sprig of cilantro for a pop of color and an additional hint of flavor. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the complex dance of flavors in your Desert Hound's Bite.
