What is the difference between a Paloma and a Salty Dog?

A salty dog traditionally uses vodka as a base a paloma uses tequila. This is realy a twist on the Salty Dog.

What other cocktails have salt on the rim?

Lots including the Margarita and the Paloma.

Salty Dog

The Greyhound can be easily made, even in the blasting madness of a July sun, but it lacks a certain something. That certain something is the flavoursome contrast of a salty rim, once so configured you have the wickedly naughty Salty Dog. This classic gin cocktail should be taken for walks in the summer months (and in the other seasons). Woof!
