Salty Black Dog

 
 
 

Backstory:

I was tasked with coming up with a couple of drinks to demo during a virtual happy hour for ARIN 49. The physical meeting was occurring in Nashville, TN in the spring of 2022 so I tried to focus on Tennessee distilleries and spring flavors. This drink is a modification of a classic Salty Dog using pink grapefruit juice and Ole Smoky Moonshine Blackberry.
