What is Blood and Sand?

As a classic scotch-based cocktail, Blood & Sand was first published in 1930 in The Savoy Cocktail Book. It is named after a 1922 movie in which Rudolph Valentino starred in Blood & Sand. In this drink, you get a combination of ingredients you wouldn't think to belong together, such as scotch, cherry brandy, sweet vermouth, and orange juice, but somehow they do.
