Notable Classics
Blood and Sand
Scotch and cherry, equal
Scotch, Cherry Heering, sweet vermouth, and fresh orange juice — named for a Rudolph Valentino bullfighting film. Cherry Heering's deep, jammy fruit threads through smoky Scotch in a way that shouldn't work but absolutely does.
Ingredients
- 3/4 oz Scotch
- 3/4 oz Cherry Heering
- 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
- 3/4 oz Fresh Orange Juice
Method
Shake Scotch, Cherry Heering, Sweet Vermouth, and fresh orange juice with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Named after Rudolph Valentino's 1922 bullfighting film; creator and exact creation date unknown. First documented in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. Per Difford's Guide #244.
