ABOUT
Like Martha and Snoop, some odd combos work wonderfully together. Cherry liqueur and blood red orange juice go surprisingly well with blended scotch whisky and sweet vermouth. For real.
DETAILS
This curiously delicious scotch-based cocktail is named after Rudolph Valentino’s 1922 movie about a bullfighter. The recipe first appeared in a 1930s cocktail book by Harry Craddock, although it’s unclear if Harry invented it or just wrote about it. Regardless, it’s delicious. Do yourself a favor and make like “The Latin Lover” - put on our 90s R&B and hip hop mix, pour everything in a shaker filled with ice, shake vigorously and strain into a chilled martini glass. Tart, complex and oh so smooth.
INSTRUCTIONS
POUR scotch, orange juice, cherry liqueur and sweet vermouth into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice
SHAKE vigorously for 15-20 seconds
STRAIN into a chilled martini glass
GARNISH with orange zest and expressed orange peel
