Scorpion
Light rum, brandy, orange, lemon, almond orgeat.
Brandy and orgeat in a tiki bowl. Almond, citrus and crushed ice that won't quit.
Profile: tropical, bold and fruity. A small holiday in a glass.
The name comes from the 'Scorpion Bowl', served with a floating gardenia and shared straws: the party drink by definition. Victor Bergeron put it on the menu in the forties as a more elegant take on the classic tiki bowl. Brandy and orgeat push it toward tropical cognac-sour territory: powerful, but surprisingly refined.
