The name 'The Real Blood and Sand' is inspired by the classic Blood and Sand cocktail, which itself is named after the 1922 Rudolph Valentino movie of the same name. The original cocktail is known for its unique blend of Scotch whisky, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth, and orange juice, symbolizing the dramatic themes of the movie. 'The Real Blood and Sand' may be seen as a modern or alternative take on this classic, substituting Scotch with Tequila Añejo for a unique flavor profile.
