Thank you for the reminder about this one: good use of acid adjusted orange juice.

I just tried this last night and Loved it Cara! Big shout out to Penderyn. I'm from Wales originally and have visited the distillery. Lovely that is.

one of my favorites!

Fabulous. I'm always looking for new Scotch cocktails so I will give this one a try.

ouh that recipe sounds great, and I have this delicious whisky on board, so thanks, Cara (& it's good to see all those whiskies behind you in the bar !), Cheers !

Great to see your take on that classic. Also the citric acid tip, is one I will be trying out the next time.

Blood and Sand was one of the first cocktails I had when I started getting into classic cocktails. Great one.

You missed the orange juice in the recipe below the video ;) Yes, it is often the case that a Blood and Sand will go flat because of the orange juice. But once this bit is sorted out, it is a very nice cocktail.

Thank you for using good single malt scotch in this cocktail. We really need to do away with the snobbish idea that good single malts are never for making cocktails.

I like blood & sand a lot. It sounds like an off balance cocktail on paper, but it actually is quite good imho

As always, love the ACCENT as much as the cocktail. Sláinte! 😉😍

got my attention (yeah I do love a whiskey sour)

You Rock!!!

Good idea to use acid-adjusted orange juice in this cocktail. The first time I made this one, I didn't like the way the smoke from the Scotch played with the other ingredients, so I cut the Scotch 50-50 with Irish. I thought it made a better drink, but it wasn't really a Blood and Sand, and it the split base made it more trouble. It's been a few years, though, and I think I'll give it another try with acid-adjusted orange juice and no split base.

There are definitely nice light non peated Scotches as well - Dewars is a solid unpeated blend 😊

This is one of my favorite after dinner cocktails. Blood oranges make this drink a little more aesthetically pleasing. Since they are seasonal, I generally juice quite a few of them when they are available and put it in an ice tray. The cubes are about 3/4 of an ounce each and allow me to keep a supply on hand year ‘round. I do have citric acid - can’t wait to try the adjustment! 🍸😄

Indeed. I was expecting this recipe to include the Sanguinello blood oranges when I saw the title. I ate tons of those oranges in Italy. Amazing.

fellow bartender here definitely gonna try this out because we have a ton of Glenfiditch and Maccallan that no one orders and a ton of leftover oranges because one of our signature drinks is a smoked old fashioned (using Mango Habanero whiskey)

I had the opportunity to try some MacAllan recently. Got a couple of minis in a gift bag. It was good, but almost like drinking soda pop, because my palate is used to Ardbeg and Del Bac Dorado 😄

Oh, dear...another one that looks perfect for Arizona. I can see I'm going to need to add a bottle of Cherry Heering to my collection. And re-arrange the shelves in my liquor cabinet. Primary spirits are going to have to snuggle up on one shelf as the liqueurs and amari spread out over two.

Haha well honestly I reckon having more liqueurs and amari give you better range than heaps of different spirits, so it’s just a smart investment 😉

Spartacus rewatch drinks sorted.

I don't have a problem as severe as yours - I usually use the oranges left over from garnishing to make a milk clarified cocktail.

Been a few minutes since I've popped in. Always enjoy your knowledge sharing! I don't keep a lot of liqueurs around the home bar. Could I use a dollop of the Luxardo syrup and maybe increase either the whiskey or vermouth to compensate? Thanks again. Hope you are doing well.

Yeah for sure! But definitely go easy on the maraschino (I would probably half it) and up the vermouth because maraschino is much drier than the cherry heering 😊

Like making this one with blood orange just for a bright crimson and tarter flavour b

Ah nice that would definitely fix the colour issue!

Has anyone tried substituting Cherry Heering with kirschwasser? Did you make any adjustments?

Recipe at the end says 3/4 oz lemon juice. Think that should be OJ instead. And this gives me another use for the Heering I have on the shelf.

@BehindtheBar

Thank you, definitely OJ 🤦‍♀️

i gotta try this out!! also your recipe sheet in the video says 25 ml lemon juice when i think you meant the oj. and then the citrus is omitted in the video description just fyi

@BehindtheBar

Thank you, I’ve fixed the description now!

No need to acid adjust anything, just use less cherry liquor. I personally use 1 oz Scotch, 1 oz Vermouth. 1 oz orange juice and 1/2 oz cherry liquor. It’s not sweet that way.

oooh, Penderyn Welsh whiskey. LOL

And if you decide to order this at a bar be VERY sure to order a "Blood and Sand", not a "Blood and Soil". Two very different things🙃
