Tricia Alley, the head bartender at the new B-Side Lounge at Rolling Stone, originally created her Blood from a Stone cocktail at home for her boyfriend as a sort of joke. She wanted to shock him and another friend, but instead they loved it and asked for refills. Alley's boyfriend enjoyed it so much he encouraged me to try it on a recent visit to B-Side. The cocktail is named Blood from a Stone because "it is what one is never meant to do, that is, Cask Strength Scotch in a cocktail", Alley said. This is a boozy drink with a citrus kick from the blood orange jucie and the orange bitters. It is tasty and packs a wallop and is distinctive and delicious enough to deserve the title of Cocktail of the Week.
The recipe is below if you'd like to make one at home. Cheers!
