How to Make Skinny Salty Dog Drinks
Adding the salt to the glass is the hardest part, but it’s what makes the drink “salty” so I recommend trying it at least once before giving up.
Just slice off a wedge of your grapefruit before juicing it, then rub it around the rim of the glass. This will make the salt stick and it will give the salt a nice grapefruit flavor too.
