Scorpion bowl

Scorpion bowl

A Scorpion Bowl is an alcoholic concoction mainly served in Chinese restaurants. It contains fruit juice (typically orange and lemon juice), rum (usually a dark rum like Myers, or a Jamaican Gold rum), and brandy. Most recipes also call for orgeat (almond) syrup. Amaretto liquor may be substituted for the orgeat and the brandy. Gin is frequently added to increase the strength of the drink. While the above ingredients can be pre-mixed together, a champagne "floater" is best added last.

There are various ways to serve a Scorpion Bowl. Generally it is served in a large bowl with an umbrella, fruit and straws.

The Scorpion Bowl may be considered the "mother of all drinks" due to its size and presentation in a large volcano bowl, a 48 ounce vessel with a ceramic volcano in the center. Served with dry ice, an orchid, and some 151 proof alcohol aflame in the volcanic center, the drink gives the appearance of a mysterious tropical island.
