ABOUT
This drink was created by Mickaël Lenin at Ancestral (now closed) in Wellington, New Zealand. I love the play on words in the name. It resembles a Blood and Sand with the scotch and orange. Fernet gives it herbal notes which pairs with the smoky scotch. Maple brings it all together. Cheers y’all!
