Named for the 1922 Rudolph Valentino bullfighter movie of the same name and first recorded in The Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, the Blood and Sand is one of the few true classics based on Scotch. Some drinkers prefer to drop back the cherry brandy, but for Mike Enright, “it’s all about equal parts”.
