I interested very much for compose overpowering drink last summer. I try many variations of Hurricane (from 2 oz to 8 oz of rum), Mai Tai, Fog Cutter… But I missed one interesting drink - Scorpion. Is modern classic cocktail was invented somewhere in California (it is right?). It is very refreshing taste and effect like scorpion sting (but no deathful). Unfortunately I don`t have time for good investigation of this cocktail. ![[lang_en]Only one sting of Scorpion, please, and...[/lang_en][lang_ru]МиксоПон: Скорпион[/lang_ru] scorpion_2.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vU27RZisK7M9LWPHaEmV5SzkG7Xklof5oZKHBMShwhPOzf20DSyei1h_cI46hf2oQXPmpa71pidHSpYWpFgJT8L-CF_tZxYqXaf5V5lWGUpliW4_b2ROjPpa682prlSkB8mdhtaIsDzFY9czZuPLJ_ZFiqPA=s0-d)
Scorpion
60 ml light or gold rum
30 ml brandy
15 ml orgeat
60 ml fresh orange juice
45 ml fresh lemon juice
Blend with a lot of ice. Serve in highball glass with ice, garnish with flag and something like this…
I use Angostura 1919 Premium rum from Trinidad and 100 g of crushed ice. The result is extremely tasty and refreshing.
