This episode of 3-Minute Bartender celebrates one of the most fascinating—and criminally underrated—cocktails of the early 20th century: the Blood and Sand. Named after a 1922 silent film about bullfighting, this drink is proof that sometimes the weirdest combinations create the biggest magic. Scotch, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and orange juice might sound like a boozy identity crisis, but in the right hands, it’s a masterpiece.
And here’s the cherry on top—bartending legend Dale DeGroff himself joins us to share his thoughts on the Blood and Sand recipe. We’ll also dive into some Hollywood trivia, explore why this drink deserves a spot in your cocktail repertoire, and celebrate its resurgence in bars around the world.
