The Blood and Sand cocktail might be the second most iconic Scotch cocktail round. The plain title-owner is the Rob Roy, although I feel that crown is likely to be slipping. Lately, I haven’t seen many bars or eating places touting their Rob Roys, nevertheless it looks as if all over the place has a Blood and Sand, a Penicillin, or a proprietary riff of both/each, on their menu.
I haven’t been holding an actual rating, so I’m talking anecdotally, however between the 2, the Blood and Sand appears to be the one I see extra typically on menus or in my social feeds. The simplicity of this cocktail makes it an ideal candidate for riffing and experimentaion.
