Scorpion Bowl Recipe With Rum
Get fired up with this homemade take on the classic punch
You have 8,760 hours in a year, but only get to spend a few of those hosting a holiday party—so don't spend them all painstakingly crafting individual cocktails for guests. Susan Eggette of Last Rites, San Francisco's newest tropical rum bar, has just the move. "I like to garnish with flowers and a hollowed-out lime shell with overproof rum that has been lit on fire," she says. Then, she suggests you top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon for the "dramatic flair" that comes to mind when you think of a scorpion bowl. If that all sounds too high-stakes for you, just serve the punch without the garnish.
