The Gladiator (Improved Blood and Sand)

Not all classic cocktails are necessarily great.

Featured Spirit: Doc Wahl American Single Malt Whiskey

The original Blood and Sand cocktail is flawed but completely reimagined here with a blood orange syrup and cherry bitters, making it a more sophisticated and clean take on one of the few well-known Scotch cocktails.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz Doc Wahl
  • ½ oz Blood Orange Syrup
  • 2 Dashes Cherry Bitters
  • ½ oz Sweet Vermouth
