The Blood and Sand is one of the few Scotch cocktails that is a true classic. The complete history is somewhat shaky, but it is accepted that it was inspired by the movie Blood and Sand. The original film was produced in 1922 (starring Rudolph Valentino) and was remade in 1941 (starring Tyrone Powers) and again in 1989 (with Sharon Stone).
The cocktail is a beautiful one with a touch of sweetness. Cherry Heering is a great option for the brandy and fresh squeezed orange juice is definitely recommended.
