Wood Sap & Sand cocktail
Fresh and refreshing Greek mastiha replaces cherry liqueur in this riff on the classic Blood & Sand

Like most Blood&Sand riffs this benefits from a touch of added acidity. I added 0.5cl of lime juice and then this becomes a balanced, interesting B&S riff. The scotch and Mastiha work surprisingly well together with the mint.

Gentlemen and gentleladies, I need to shout it: use punt e mes in this instead of standard red vermouths

Mastiha's unique flavour combines well with mint and the orange scotch vermouth complex provides dimension and depth. Excellent!

Trying to find the words to describe how good this tastes...

What is the reason for stirring? Wouldn't shaking be better to combine orange juice with other ingredients?

Agreed! A mistake. I've amended accordingly. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
