- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1/2 oz orgeat syrup

Cooking Instructions
- Grab your favorite tiki glass or big bowl. Nothing says “Scorpion” like a fancy vessel.
- Add 1 oz each of light rum, dark rum, gin, and brandy to the glass.
- Pour in 2 oz of orange juice, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 1 oz of pineapple juice.
- Add 1/2 oz of orgeat syrup to the mix.
- Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice. Feel free to be generous with the ice; it’s your day.

Suggestions
- If you’re out of orgeat syrup, almond syrup works in a pinch. No nuts? Try a dash of amaretto.
- For garnishing, think tropical. Pineapple slices, mint sprigs, or even an umbrella. Why not?
- Blend for a frostier version or shake with ice then strain if you like it less watered down. Be the cocktail boss you were born to be!
