Cucumber Salty Dog Cocktail

4 ounces fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice
2 ounces gin
1 slice of cucumber(1/2 inch)
2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
Coarse salt
Ice
Garnish with a cucumber wheel and fresh mint

Pour a hefty amount of salt(about a 1/4 cup) onto a small plate.
Turn your serving glass upside down, and wet just the rim by dipping into your grapefruit juice.
Press the wet rim of the glass into your plate of salt, rotating it around until an even layer of salt is covering the rim of the glass. Set aside.
Muddle a slice of cucumber for about 30 seconds in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
Add in gin, juice, and bitters. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
Add 3 or 4 ice cubes to your salted serving glass.
Strain mixture into a glass over ice cubes.
Add garnish and enjoy immediately.
