No salt?

Salty dog:

The Salty Dog is the saline version of the popular "canine" drink, the
Greyhound. These two drinks are great, if you learn one you know the other;
just switch the vodka with gin and salt the glass rim and the your Greyhound
becomes a Salty Dog. Personally I like this drink better, the gin adds depth
to the grapefruit and if you add a dash of peach bitters, WOW!
Ingredients:

2 oz gin
4 oz grapefruit juice
salt for rimming

lemon or lime wedge for garnish

Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a collins glass rimmed with salt and filled with
ice cubes.
Stir well.

Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge.
