The Blushing Greyhound

The Blushing Greyhound, despite its benign components and demure shade, can be even more dangerous than a midnight bus to Chinatown. Buckle up, pup; this summer-licious spritzer can bring on one hell of a bumpy ride.

For me, the Blushing Greyhound will henceforth be known the drink that made a hole in my wall. It's such a mild concoction, refreshing and tart. Add salt on the rim, and it becomes a Salty Dog. Add two jiggers of Jamison, two shots of Eagle Rare, a muddled strawberry vodka mojito, a ginger-beer cocktail, and two glasses of wine, well, then it just becomes a bitch.
