Dracula's BLOOD & SAND Halloween Cocktail


Did you know that Dracula was a Scotch drinker? Well, okay his favorite drink has hemoglobin in it, but once he's had his fill of blood and can relax a bit, he loves him a good old Blood & Sand cocktail made with Johnnie Walker Black Label. He particularly likes the fact that it complements his signature couture color of black. He even has his own special name for his personal vampire version of a classic Blood & Sand*, he calls it a Bloody and Sand. Isn't he just too cute?

Here's his recipe, I only got it from him through great personal sacrifice.


And just for that I'm NOT calling it Bloody & Sand.
