Greyhound

Unsafe

The Greyhound cocktail mixes vodka or gin with grapefruit juice and carries high gout risk primarily from its alcohol content despite low purines.

Good

Grapefruit juice supplies vitamin C, which some studies suggest may slightly lower uric acid levels in moderation.

Bad

Any alcohol, including the spirits in a Greyhound, reduces kidney uric acid excretion and raises flare risk; added fructose from the juice can further elevate serum uric acid.
