A classic cocktail in a martini glass with an orange peel garnish sits on a reflective surface, with a blurred dark background.

The Blood and Sand cocktail is a classic and vibrant libation that perfectly balances sweet and smoky flavors. This cocktail takes its name from the 1922 silent film of the same title, and its ingredients mirror the film's contrasting elements. Combining equal parts of Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, orange juice, and a touch of cherry brandy, the Blood and Sand is a true classic that's both visually striking and delightfully flavorful.
