How to Make a Scorpion Bowl Like a Pro(for 1) from Smuggler’s Cove
Back when we could all go out to tiki bars, seems so long ago now, groups could rarely resist the siren call of a scorpion bowl. But hey, the times they are a changin’ and you will not be able to have one of these beauties with your friends for a long time. However, you can whip up your own Scorpion bowl at home for about the same price as the bar if even if you bought all your ingredients from scratch, and then keep enjoying more!
This is another Trader Vics classic that is certain to keep the fun going with your friends, or just you during this quarantine. I went ahead and made 1/4 of the Smuggler’s recipe so you can follow along and give it a try for yourself. Quarantined with another person? Double the recipe (Separate glasses of course). Quarantined with 4 total? Perfect, quadruple the recipe and you got an original Scorpion Bowl for 4 people.
