The Blood and Sand is a Scotch-based classic—, one of the few whisky cocktails that leans fruity and approachable. Profile: * Fruity, lightly sweet, with a soft smoky backbone Origin: * 1930s (Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock) * Named after the 1922 bullfighter film Blood and Sand Quick note: This recipe reduces the OJ and Heering to keep it from getting too sweet or flat. The original recipe is 25ml for all ingredients.
