Blood and Sand
Bullfighter's deadly arena
Blood and Sand is a cocktail made with Scotch whisky, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth, and orange juice—named after the 1922 Rudolph Valentino bullfighting film.
The drink's ruddy color evokes the arena.
I'll have a Blood and Sand.
The name also refers to the original novel, film, or the broader bullfighting drama genre.
