Salty Dog (1947); Baptist tea (1962)

[Barry Popik]

How's the new OED entry on "Salty Dog" (gin/vodka + grapefruit juice, plus
salted glass rim) coming? I came across a 1947 cite from Brownville, TX; I'd
previously posted a 1952 Trader Vic cite here. There's also a "Tex-Mex"
Salty Dog called a Tequila Salty Dog, or Perro Salado.
...
"Baptist tea" is another Texas entry that I posted recently. It's not in
DARE?
