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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces dark Jamaican rum
4 ounces fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
3 ounces fresh orange juice (from 1 large orange)
3 ounces orgeat
2 ounces Cognac
2 ounces high-proof gin
3 cups ice cubes
Any combination of edible flowers, mint sprigs, maraschino cherries, cinnamon sticks, citrus peels, citrus rounds, pineapple wedges and paper umbrellas, for garnish
Flaming lime shell (see Tip), optional

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.

Yield 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Combine 4 ounces blended aged rum, 2 ounces lemon juice, 1 1/2 ounces each orange juice and orgeat (almond syrup) and 1 ounce each brandy and gin in a blender. Add 1 cup crushed ice and blend until very cold. Pour into a large shallow glass and add a few ice cubes. Garnish with an edible flower and lemon slice. Serve with 2 straws.

Tips:

  • Chill the bowl: Place the punch bowl in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before assembling the punch. This will help keep the punch cold and refreshing.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and juices will give your punch the best flavor. If possible, use seasonal fruits that are at their peak of ripeness.
  • Don't skimp on the rum: Rum is the main ingredient in a scorpion bowl, so don't be afraid to use a good quality rum. A dark or amber rum will give the punch a richer flavor than a light rum.
  • Add other spirits: In addition to rum, you can also add other spirits to your scorpion bowl, such as vodka, gin, or tequila. This will give the punch a more complex flavor.
  • Use a variety of juices: Don't just use one type of juice in your punch. Combine different juices, such as orange juice, pineapple juice, and grapefruit juice, to create a more interesting flavor.
  • Add some sweetness: If you like your punch sweet, add some simple syrup or grenadine. You can also use fresh fruit, such as pineapple or mango, to add sweetness.
  • Garnish your punch: Garnish your punch with fresh fruit, mint leaves, or a pineapple wedge. This will make your punch look more festive and inviting.

Conclusion:

The scorpion bowl is a classic tiki cocktail that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is a refreshing and flavorful punch that is sure to please everyone. With its combination of rum, fresh juices, and spices, the scorpion bowl is a delicious and unique cocktail that is sure to be a hit at your next party.
