History

After thinking about the Death or Glory that I republished in the The Clash cocktail biopic article, I became inspired to tinker with the structure. The drink's Cherry Heering made me think of the Blood & Sand and I later dubbed the end result after another of Rudolph Valentino's movies, namely the Rogue's Romance. I opted for lemon instead of Blood & Sand's orange to mirror Johann Goes to Mexico and the Trinidad Sour, and after making it once, I decided to include a regal shake with an orange peel to add back some elegant notes found in the classic.
