Blood and Sand Recipe

Blood and Sand Recipe

  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) Scotch
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) sweet vermouth
  • 1 dash orange bitters
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cherry ale
  • Orange juice (200g is approximately 3/4 cup, but measurement is very precise in molecular gastronomy)
  • Versa-Whip (a very precise scale is needed to weigh ingredients in fractions of grams, I dont think it makes sense to give volume measurements)
  • Xanthan gum
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 200 grams orange juice, 2.5 grams Versa-Whip (available online), 1/2 gram xanthan gum (also available online). Use immersion blender with whisk attachment to whip juice into foam.
  2. In chilled cocktail shaker or pint glass, stir together Scotch, vermouth, bitters, and ice until well combined. Strain into chilled double old-fashioned glass and top with cherry ale and orange foam.
