A bit of a cross between a Salty Dog and a Gimlet, with a split base of lime juice and grapefruit juice, and a shot of my current favorite Empress Gin (although the indigo color of the gin didn't really come through in the cocktail). Cheers!

Rim a chilled highball glass in sea salt. Fill the glass with ice, pour in the ingredients, and give a good stir.

Editor's Note

A Salty Dog meets a Gimlet in this gin-and-citrus highball. A split base of lime and grapefruit juice provides a double-dose of tartness against a backdrop of gin botanicals.
