PERKY PINEAPPLE SIPPER
This delicious drink is inspired by the flavors of a 1960s cocktail, the Mr. Bali Hai, which usually requires simple syrup, pineapple juice, and three bottles of booze (two rums and a coffee liqueur). For a neat cheat, I coffee-washed a gold aged rum and made the simple syrup right in the shaker. Garnish with pineapple fronds and lime wedges.

SCORPION BOWL
Because many tiki recipes were kept secret from even the bartenders assembling them, the original scorpion bowl recipe is difficult to pinpoint. This recipe is an updated take on what many consider to be one of the originals: Trader Vic's 1946 recipe. The quality of the ingredients is important, but just as important is the garnish. Put edible flowers, chunks of fruit and reusable straws to work. If fire is in your heart, float a flaming lime shell atop the drink (see Tip), taking care to attempt this only in the early stages of the night and to snuff out any lingering flames before serving.

Steps:
- In a blender, working in batches if necessary, combine the rum, lemon juice, orange juice, orgeat, Cognac and gin. Add the ice, then cover and blend at high speed until the ice is broken into small pieces, 5 to 10 seconds.
- Pour into a scorpion bowl, tiki bowl or small punch bowl. Garnish as desired. (If using a scorpion bowl with a volcano, this would be the time to light your flaming lime shell, if desired, taking care to keep garnishes out of the flame's reach. Snuff out any lingering flames before Step 3.)
- Serve immediately, with straws.
Tips:
- To make the scorpion cups ahead of time, assemble the cups and chill them for up to 24 hours. Just add the fruit and sorbet right before serving.
- If you don't have any sorbet, you can use frozen yogurt or ice cream instead.
- To make a non-alcoholic version of the scorpion cup, omit the vodka.
- Garnish the scorpion cups with a slice of lime or a cherry for a festive touch.
- For a tropical twist, add a splash of pineapple juice or coconut cream to the scorpion cups.
Conclusion:
Scorpion cups are a refreshing and delicious way to cool down on a hot summer day. They're also a great way to use up leftover fruit. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive drink that will be the hit of your next party.
