Review:

One of the best classic Scotch cocktails, the Blood & Sand is said to be the Scotch whisky-based cocktail that whisky haters will like. Some may find this equal parts recipe a tad on the sweet side and if this is the case then our Blood & Sand recipe ups the Scotch notes with reduced sweet ingredients.
