How To Make A Blood And Sand Cocktail
Blood and Sand Cocktail. Diego Garcia, Bar Manager at the Oxo Tower Bar and Brasserie, shows you how to make the perfect Blood and Sand Cocktail. A combination of scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and cherry brandy certainly hits the spot!
Step 1: Orange juice
Firstly, measure out 20ml of orange juice and pour into the mixing glass.
Step 2: Scotch whisky
Then add 20ml of Scotch Whisky
Step 3: Sweet vermouth
Next, pour in 20ml of sweet vermouth
Step 4: Cherry brandy
And finally, 20ml of cherry brandy
Step 5: Ice
Now fill the mixing glass with ice
Step 6: Shake
Put the other half of the cocktail shaker on. Slap it down firmly to seal. Hold the top and bottom, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
Step 7: HANDY HINT
When there is condensation on the outside of the shaker, and it feels very cold, then it's mixed.
Step 8: Release
Tap the side of the shaker to loosen the two halves. Release the top by rocking it back and forth.
Step 9: Double strain
Use the cocktail strainer over the shaker and the fine strainer over the martini glass to double strain the cocktail. As you pour, encourage the drink through the fine strainer using the handle of the cocktail strainer..
Step 10: Garnish
Take an orange and slice off a piece of the rind. Squeeze this over the drink to add a little of the sharp tasting juice. Then gently drag the orange peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the drink. Finally, add a cherry to decorate.
