History
Created around 1922, the Blood and Sand was named for the Rudolph Valentino bullfighting film released that year. Its unusual equal-parts blend of Scotch, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth and orange juice appears in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book and remains one of the few classics built on blended Scotch.
