Blood and Sand Cocktail Recipe

This is the perfect drink for fall. Mainly because the cherry liquor and the fresh blood orange juice remind me of warm summer days. But then you also have the peaty smoky Scotch in there and that goes so well with cool fall days and a roaring bonfire.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounce Blended Scotch
  • 1/2 ounce Sweet Vermouth
  • 2 ounce Juice of Blood Orange
  • 1 ounce Cherry Liquor Cherry Herring or Luxardo

Instructions

  1. Pour all ingredients over ice in a shaker.  Shake well.
  2. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with blood orange zest and Maraschino cherry.

Recipe Notes

If you really want to make a splash, right before serving, light the orange zest on fire.  Rub it around the lip of the glass and then add a touch more orange juice on top.  

Valentino movie optional.  Fire in the fireplace... highly recommended.
