Try this twist on a Salty Dog, though with the addition of beer — basically a salty-sweet beer cocktail garnished with bacon. It uses ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Ingredients
1 grapefruit, halved
Coarse sea salt
Ice
1 1⁄2 ounces vodka (or gin)
3 ounces grapefruit juice (preferably fresh-squeezed)
1 tablespoon simple syrup*
Wheat beer / witbier (I used Southhampton Publick House Double White, but lager would do)
Bacon for garnish
