The Greyhound Cocktail has its roots in the early 20th century, often associated with the American cocktail culture. Named after the Greyhound bus line, it symbolizes travel and leisure.

Today, variations abound, including the addition of salt on the rim or substituting gin for vodka, appealing to diverse palates.
