blood orange + sand



i love the blood + sand drink, perfect for winter sipping. the four elements just work beautifully together! and because blood oranges are currently in season, it's another reason to celebrate this sparkle of brilliance.

3/4 oz ballentine's blended scotch
3/4 oz dolin rouge sweet vermouth
3/4 oz heering cherry liqueur
3/4 oz blood orange juice

shake all ingredients together with ice
strain into a chilled coupe
garnish with a dried orange wheel

*best with a viewing of the cocktail's namesake
