Lightened Up Scorpion Cup image

A Scorpion Bowl typically has four or more liquors and is super sweet. This sweet-enough version uses rum and brandy for richness and amaretto to fill in for hard-to-find orgeat. Garnish with orange slices, fresh mint sprigs, and edible orchids.

This drink is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less vodka.
