The Grumpy Dingo Radio Blood & Sand Cocktail

Vintage drinks with connections to old Hollywood make your cocktailing experience somehow richer and more satisfying. With that in mind we present the Blood & Sand cocktail, named after Rudolph Valentino's 1922 movie "Blood & Sand." The cocktail first emerged in the 1930's and has stood the test of time. The movie is black & white but the cocktail is a deep red. Quiet on the set and...action!
