I've never been to the Tiki-Ti but that don't stop me from googling.

Found some recipes on the web that were all basically scotch, OJ, cherry brandy and sweet vermouth:

And then this excerpt from an article by Otto in Hollywood Highball Magazine:

"Son and father team Mike and Ray Buhen have adapted to their changing neighborhood - one of the most popular drinks ("The Blood and Sand") was changed from Scotch to Tequila to accommodate new tastes."

Those drink recipes above sound quite dainty as compared to what you see being whipped up in this video from the Tiki-Ti:
