On the Eighth Day of Cocktails, my bartender made for me – Blood&Sand. I will admit that the name is a bit disturbing but with 3oz of booze it sounds about right for the holidays.
This drink was first created for a 1922 Rudolph Valentino film, of the same name, and has since become a Southern cocktail staple. The recipe first appeared in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.
- 1 oz scotch whisky
- 1 oz Heering Cherry liqueur
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 1 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1. Add all ingredients into a shaker and shake vigourously.
2. Double strain into a cocktail glass.
3. Flame an orange zest over the cocktail glass.
4. Drink
5. Repeat (of course).
