Greyhound

  • The Greyhound’s first known mention arrived thanks to bartender and author Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book, a classic tome that was published in 1930. The Greyhound bus terminal’s ubiquitous restaurant chain, Post House, served their version with vodka. Today, it’s common to see gin or vodka employed in the Greyhound, so try both to see which you prefer.
