Blood and Sand
From acclaimed Charleston barman Mick Matricciano, "This drink is by far my favorite Scotch-based cocktail. It’s a more full-bodied drink than the previous two but still well-balanced and refreshing. What makes this drink so fun is the type of Scotch used has a major impact on the flavor of the final cocktail. It’s a great bridge into more serious Scotch-based drinks, in that as you become more comfortable with Scotch you can substitute more aggressive styles into this cocktail for a completely different drink.
