The Bacon and Beer Cocktail You Have To Try

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
