Blood and Sand Cocktail Recipe
A classic Scotch-based cocktail first appearing in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book, named after the 1922 Rudolph Valentino film. It combines smoky Scotch with sweet cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth, and fresh orange juice for a surprisingly harmonious, slightly fruity and rich drink.
