cocktail style:
Citrusy, Herbaceous

Blood and Sand

Created in 1922 and named after a bullfighting movie staring Rudolph Valentino, this classic reamains one of the better known Scotch cocktails, with a notoriously finnicky balance. We find the original a bit flat, due to the lack of acidity in commercially available oranges, so we add a bit of lemon juice. Counterintuitively, adding more ingredients allows for a more harmonious balance of assertive flavors. Trinity Bitters does what it does best and ties together woodsy, aromatic and citrusy flavors.
