Greyhound

The Greyhound cocktail is one of the simple yet characterful classics that emerged in the US in the 1930s. Originally made with grapefruit juice and gin, the vodka version became more popular over time. The name comes from the Greyhound restaurant chain in the US, known for its long-distance buses. The grapefruit juice-based drinks served in these restaurants quickly became popular and entered the cocktail culture with the name "Greyhound". Although it consists of two simple ingredients, its refreshing and balanced taste made it a preferred drink, especially in hot weather. Over time, it became a classic on bar menus and is considered one of the best examples of the minimalist cocktail concept.
