The Greyhound is a cocktail that proves sophistication doesn’t require complexity. Just vodka and grapefruit juice — that’s it. And when made with Illadelph Organic Vodka and fresh citrus, this drink becomes crisp, clean, and utterly refreshing.
The Greyhound dates back to the 1930s and gained popularity in the 1950s, especially after it appeared in the Savoy Cocktail Book. Originally made with gin, the vodka version eventually took over American bars as vodka soared in popularity. Its name is believed to have come from being served at Greyhound bus station restaurants run by Post House in the mid-20th century.
The Greyhound has been a favorite of health-conscious and minimalist drinkers alike. Known for its refreshing flavor and low sugar content, it’s often the go-to for actors and musicians between roles and tours. Fans of the cocktail include Charlize Theron and Pharrell Williams, who appreciate its balance of tartness and clean spirit.
When a cocktail has only two ingredients, every detail counts. Illadelph Organic Vodka is the perfect match for fresh grapefruit juice — smooth, clean, and free of harsh edges. Its USDA-certified organic quality ensures your Greyhound is pure refreshment from start to finish.
Simple. Elegant. Tart. And better with Illadelph Vodka.
