Ep. 14: Gettin’ goonie with it - The Blood And Sand
Welcome to episode 14 of The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle
What are we drinking?
Finally, a Scotch drink, but not any Scotch drink… the Blood And Sand. We just don’t drink enough of them. Uncle B teaches you how to make an awesome Blood and Sand while Jules adds a little zhuzh with red wine and eggwhite. Make your drink and listen to the history of the Blood and Sand, and even more interesting history on the Savoy in London.
Definition of “goon”: to consume something so quickly, you are unable to share with others.
