Do you like your cocktails on the sweet, sour or salty side? I prefer mine sweet, but my husband enjoys the salty and sour varieties. The Salty Dog is easy-to-make and is one of his favorite drinks, especially during the summertime. If you like vodka (or gin) I think you’ll like this one too.

You can find a ton of easy-to-make cocktail recipes on the TwoClassyChics blog, other websites, and over on YouTube.  Today I’m sharing with you the recipe on how to make a Salty Dog. It’s one of the easiest cocktails to make. If you’re not a fan of vodka you can substitute with 1 1/2 oz. of your favorite gin.

Salty Dog Cocktail Drink Recipe

1 1/2 oz. Vodka
3 oz. Grapefruit Juice
1 cup Ice Cubes
Salt
Fresh Lime Wedge

Rim your glass with salt. Pour vodka into the glass first and then your grapefruit juice. Added ice cubes (about a cup). Use a straw to stir. Let it sit for a minute or two to get cold. Add a lime wedge to the rim. Serve immediately.

My husband and I enjoy going out once in awhile on a date night. We will typically go out for dinner and drinks while a babysitter keeps on eye on the kids. It’s a great way for us to re-connect and spend some one-on-one time together. With that said, Covid-19 has kept us at home for almost a year. No dinner nights out, no drinks out with friends, etc.

The past few months I’ve been teaching myself how to make some of our favorite cocktail drinks. You can find a ton of easy-to-make cocktail recipes on the TwoClassyChics blog, other websites, and over on YouTube.  Today I’m sharing with you the recipe on how to make a delicious Blue Lagoon. Trust me, it’s easy!

Blue Lagoon Cocktail Drink Recipe

5/6 oz. Vodka
5/6 oz. Curacao
5/6 oz. Lemonade
2/3 oz. Lemon Juice
Crushed Ice
Lemon Wedge

Combine the vodka, Curacao, lemonade and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until combined. Place crushed ice into the glass and pour the liquids over-the-top. Stir with a straw or stir-stick. Place a lemon wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

My Tips: I personally like this drink BEST when served in a chilled glass. I like it really cold! I will sometimes toss 1-3 cherries on the top too! One time I tried making it with a diet lemonade and hated it. I felt that it gave it an after-taste that I didn’t enjoy. However, someone else may enjoy it made that way. I didn’t.
