the greyhound.


i was in san francisco in early september when my sister and brother-in-law were just finding their apartment. my sister took me to this bar she enjoys called "lion pub." looked kind of nondescript from the outside, but inside it was this kind of funky tiki/plant/60s lounge type of bar. their specialty? THE GREYHOUND. what is a greyhound? apparently the drink originated in san francisco so they're especially good at making it. typically, it's just vodka and fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. the best one we had, however, was vodka, grapefruit juice and some fresh basil lightly muddled in the glass before the ice went in. lion pub definitely did it right as they have some giant juicers on the bar ready to squeeze away. so good! if you want a fun, different drink to serve at a party, get out your hand juicer and have at that grapefruit!
