Blood and Sand
Cocktail Recipe
The Blood and Sand is a classic whisky cocktail known for its smooth balance of citrus, sweetness, and gentle richness. Created in the 1920s and named after the film "Blood and Sand", it combines Scotch whisky, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth, and fresh orange juice in equal parts. The result is a surprisingly bright yet rounded drink that’s a great introduction to Scotch-based cocktails.
