Only one sting of Scorpion, please, and…

16 March 2008 · 5 Comments

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.

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.

That is one yummy looking cocktail.
I keep looking for a tasty, tiki-ish drink to make that doesn’t take half an hour, three consultants, and forty-two ingredients to make. Let’s hope this one fits the bill.
I do have to wonder, though. Isn’t this a little summery for March in The Ukraine?
