Blood and Sand

Name: Blood and Sand
Ingredients: 1/4 cup (2 ounces) Scotch; 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) sweet vermouth; 1 dash orange bitters; 1 cup ice cubes; 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cherry ale; Orange juice (200g is approximately 3/4 cup, but measurement is very precise in molecular gastronomy); Versa-Whip* (a very precise scale is needed to weigh ingredients in fractions of grams, I dont think it makes sense to give volume measurements); Xanthan gum*

A small grocery run gets this on the table.
