Perro Salado (Tequila Salty Dog)
By: Kumquat the Cat's friend
Aug 20, 2005
Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. This is a Tex-Mex version of the salty dog. If you have access to a sweet Texas red grapefruit, like Ruby-Sweets or Rio Stars, then it's recommended you use it in this recipe. From a special edition of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex Cooking. I ordered this at a restaurant once. If you're in the mood, you can double the tequila (hehe).

I did not know this had a name — 'tequila and grapefruit' is all we ever called it when making these. This is a very refreshing drink on super-hot days - but wow, they go down awfully easy! We use Cuervo Gold, and try to use the freshest grapefruit juice you can, or frozen concentrate. The bottled/canned stuff in the grocery aisle just doesn't do justice to the tequila.

What a nice refreshing cocktail! An interesting idea, using tequila. I used Cuervo gold, and since ruby reds are out of season, I used frozen concentrate ruby red grapefruit juice. Very nice! And a good time was had by all LOL! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
