Scorpio the Scorpion
October 23 - November 21
The Scorpio, a water sign, is organized, sophisticated, kind, and a perfectionist. Regardless of their bold nature, they are often secretive, but they are always observing behind their withdrawn manner. How lucky the Scorpio is to have a famous Tiki cocktail named after them! The Scorpion, a mid-1900’s classic, is most often served as a punch, and is certainly BOLD. Everyone seems to have their own recipe, although rum is of course consistent in all of them.
This recipe is from Trader Vic:
- 2 x 750 mL bottles of Añejo Rum
- 2 oz. Gin
- 2 oz. Brandy
- 1 x 750 mL bottle of Dry White Wine
- 16 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
- 8 oz. Fresh Orange Juice
- 8 oz. Orgeat
- 2 large Sprigs of Mint
- Combine all ingredients in a punch bowl, stir well, and allow to sit for at least 2 hours (I prefer it to sit more like 6 hours).
- Serve over ice and garnish with fresh fruit and mint.
