The Improved Blood and Sand

  • 1.5 oz. Scotch (I prefer something with a touch of smoke, like Talisker)
  • .75 oz. Cherry Heering
  • 1 oz. sweet vermouth (I like using Punt e Mes for this)
  • .75 oz. orange juice
  • .25 oz. lemon juice
  • .25 oz. simple syrup
  • tools: shaker, strainer, vegetable peeler
  • glass: cocktail
  • garnish: orange oil

Combine all ingredients and shake with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Using the vegetable peeler, cut a piece of orange peel. Squeeze the peel over the drink to express the oils and run peel around the rim of the glass. Discard the peel.
