Blood and Sand is one of the few classic mixed drinks that includes Scotch whisky. It was named after Rudolph Valentino's 1922 bullfighter movie Blood and Sand.[1] The red juice of the blood orange in the drink helped link it with the film.[citation needed] The recipe is first known to have appeared in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.[2]
