A Halloween variation of the classic Salty Dog combines gin, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, and simple syrup, served in a glass with a salted rim. The rim uses a 50-50 mixture of black salt and white sugar to create a spooky contrast. Ice cubes are prepared by placing food-safe rubber cockroaches into silicone molds, washing the faux insects, filling with water, and freezing. For two cocktails, mix 3 ounces gin, 7 ounces grapefruit juice, and 4 teaspoons simple syrup with ice, shake well, pour into rimmed glasses, and add the novelty cockroach ice cubes. The recipe can be adjusted for personal taste.
"This Halloween-themed cocktail is a variation of a classic Salty Dog, which is a grapefruit and gin cocktail that is unique because it is served in a glass with a salted rim. Stewart and Snoop's version is made with simple syrup, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, and Still G.I.N., which is the spirits brand that he launched with Dr. Dre in 2024."
"The two most important ingredients, however, are a mixture of black salt and white sugar for the rim, and ice cubes that contain plastic food-safe cockroaches. To make two Halloween Salty Dogs at home, you should start by making your cockroach ice cubes. You'll want to use a silicone ice cube tray that is large enough to hold your food-safe rubber cockroaches. Wash the cockroaches by hand in warm water and dish soap and then rinse them thoroughly."
