Cocktail Description
A tiki-inspired blend of rum, cognac, and orgeat that tastes like a tropical vacation in a glass.
The Scorpion masterfully combines the clean crispness of Plantation 3 Stars rum with the rich depth of Hennessy cognac, while fresh citrus juices provide bright acidity that balances the nutty sweetness of the almond orgeat. This blended delight offers waves of flavor—first almond and orange, followed by subtle vanilla and oak notes from the spirits. Perfect for summer gatherings or when you need a mental escape to an island paradise, this cocktail requires only basic blending skills but delivers impressive results. The Scorpion pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, particularly coconut shrimp or mahi-mahi, and stands up nicely to spicy Asian dishes that complement its nutty undertones.
