About This Cocktail

Named after the 1922 Rudolph Valentino film about a matador, the Blood and Sand is one of the few classic cocktails calling for Scotch whisky. Its unusual combination of whisky, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth, and orange juice creates a complex, balanced drink that has seen renewed interest during the craft cocktail revival.
