Steps to Make It

• Gather the ingredients. S&C Design Studios
• Add the ice, pineapple, and mango to a blender. Pulse to chop up the mix. S&C Design Studios
• Add the rum, brandy, orgeat syrup, orange juice, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. S&C Design Studios
• In a scorpion bowl, pour the blended mixture over large pieces of ice. S&C Design Studios
• Fill the reservoir in the middle of the bowl with 151-proof rum. Add fruit garnishes. Using a long lighter, light the rum on fire. S&C Design Studios
• Extinguish the flame and add four long straws. Serve and enjoy. S&C Design Studios

• Always extinguish the flames before drinking.
• Keep all flammables away from the volcano (including paper umbrellas).
• Dont reach or lean over the bowl. Depending on the ambient light in the room, the alcohol flame can be nearly invisible and its easy to forget that its still on fire.
• Fresh-squeezed citrus juices are going to create a better scorpion bowl. One orange will yield between 2 and 3 ounces of juice, so a few fruits should be enough. For the lemon, simply squeeze two halves directly into the blender.

• You can serve the scorpion bowl in a regular small punch bowl and skip the flaming rum.
• Its also fun to serve in individual tiki mugs or cups. Fill each with ice, pour the mixture to fill, then garnish.
• A hollowed out half of a lime works as a reservoir alternative in both bowls and cups that dont have the built-in volcano. The trick is to balance it on a bed of ice so it rests securely and wont spill.
• To make a slightly sweeter and pink punch, add 1 ounce of grenadine to the blender. It can also be used as a substitute for the orgeat, though 2 ounces should be enough.
• Add 2 ounces of vodka or gin, or use either as a substitute for the brandy.
• Use whatever tropical fruit is in season as a substitute for the mango. Passion fruit, papaya, and even a banana can add a fun twist of flavor.
