The Greyhound cocktail traces its roots back to the 1930s, first appearing in print in Harry Craddock’s iconic 'Savoy Cocktail Book.' Originally made with gin, it gained widespread popularity in the 1940s when vodka became widely available in the United States. The cocktail’s name is believed to have been inspired by the Greyhound bus line, as the drink was a staple offering in bus terminal restaurants operated by the chain. Over time, the Greyhound has remained a beloved classic, favored for its simple construction and refreshing, tart taste.
